Re: [g-a-devel]AT-SPI Addition to Signal Handler in at-bridge

["Padraig O'Briain" <Padraig Obriain sun com>]

I do not remember the discussion. I have checked the code and found that on 
September 13th I changed the behavior of the text-changed::delete signal so that 
the signal is emitted before the text is actually deleted.

I am not sure if this solves Marc's problem but is should be possible to get the 
text which is about to be deleted in a signal handler. I am about to update 
ferret to do this.
