RE: prevent scrolling in GtkText

["Dugas, Alan" <alan dugas analog com>]

Are you inserting your text, and/or moving the cursor, and/or deleting text
while frozen?  When I do so, I am able to "auto scroll" by checking if the
scrollbar is at it's limit prior to inserting addtional text.  If it is,
then after thawing the text widget I reset the vertical scrollbar adjustment
attached to the gtktext to display the new text at the bottom.  Otherwise
the text is left alone displaying the same text as it did prior to inserting
the addtional text.  Basically do everything while frozen.  Hope this helps.
