Click to place cursor problem

Subject: Click to place cursor problem

Hello,

I am having a problem using GtkTextView with GtkScrolledWindow.  When I 
click to place the cursor, text is selected instead.  The problem only 
occurs at application startup.

Thanks,
Mark

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1) Startup application, the cursor should not be visible since it is at the 
end of the buffer.
2) Using the scrollbar, scroll to an arbitrary location except the very end 
of the buffer.
3) Click on the screen to place the cursor.

Results:
Text is selected instead of placing the cursor. The length of the selection 
is dependent on the scroll distance to the cursor (initialy at the end of 
the buffer).

Other things to try:
1) Instead of single clicking, click and hold the mouse button.
2) Instead of clicking the mouse, type a character on the keyboard.  The 
view will jump to the end of the buffer. This is correct behavior.

Note:
The same problem occures if I manually set the cursor using 
gtk_text_buffer_place_cursor() to the top of the buffer, scroll down to the 
bottom of the buffer with the scrollbar and click to place the cursor.

Conclusion:
It appears the the first mouse click is being interpreted as a key press.
