Re: Q: AtkTextIface get_text offset arguments are not as expected

["Grant Gayed" <Grant_Gayed ca ibm com>]

okay, I've found the problem, I wasn't
answering AtkText's get_character_count correctly, which affected get_text_at_offset,
which affected get_text <g>.  Sorry about the noise...

Grant,

You are correct about what the start_offset and end_offset arguments should
be.

There is not enough information in your mail for me to speculate on what
is 
going wrong.
