I'm developing a simple notepad type application (mostly for my own
personal use) using GTK+ 2 and the GtkTextView widget. I added a
status bar which shows the current file, what line the cursor is on, the
total number of lines in the file, and the file's size. All is working
pretty well, but the one minor bug I see is that clicking on the text
view to move the cursor won't update the status bar with the new line
information. I beleive this is because clicking to move the cursor
apparently doesn't emit the "move-cursor" signal where are moving it
using the keyboard does? Is this the expected behavior or is it
possibly a bug? I tried searching for bugs related to this, but the
only thing I found was something talking about a new algorithm for how
to keep track of where the cursor is and how it should work with scrolling.
If you want an example of what I am talking about, you can download my
editor's code from here and compile it:

There is a make file include and it should work ok without much need to
edit it. I could also try and write a smaller example if someone thinks
it's necessary.
However if this is the expcted behaviour, then how should I update the
status bar when the cursor is moved with the mouse? Should I just
capture the button-press or similar event and use that?
