Re: Gtk3 text view anchored in text view cannot get cursor inside (Ok in Gtk2)

[Giuseppe Penone <giuspen gmail com>]

Hi Eric,

thanks for looking at the problem, in fact it looks like stopping the event to reach the below text view does the trick:

    textViewNested.signal_button_press_event().connect([](GdkEventButton* pEvent){ return true; });

Cheers,

Giuseppe.

Hi Giuseppe,

It looks like you are going to need to set up a callback and grab the focus of that uncooperative nested textview. It should work with GTK3.
