AtkText and AtkEditableText

[Marc Mulcahy <marc mulcahy sun com>]

Hi All,

Some thoughts on AtkText and AtkEditableText:

Since it doesn't seem reasonable that an object would implement AtkText and 
not AtkEditableText, it seems that AtkEditableText::SelectText and 
AtkText::SetSelectionBounds are redundant.  Selecting text seems to be 
something that one may wish to do, regardless oof whether the text is 
editable or not.  The two cases which come to mind offhand are selecting 
text from a terminal window to copy to the clipboard, and selecting text 
from a web page.  So, it seems as though text selection rightfully should 
live in AtkText.  Thoughts?

Along these same lines, I think the CopyText or CopySelection methods 
should also live in AtkText, as they don't affect the widget, and therefore 
don't seem to be a part of editing it.  The paste and delete functions seem 
appropriate for AtkEditableText.  Again, any comments?

Regards,

Marc
