Re: Auto Scrolling

Brian,

I noticed it does actually scroll, it just always goes back to the first 
line again. Even after appending hundreds, it goes to the first.

Here is the code I'm using to define my TextView and my Iterator.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
struct AtePane * ate_pane_new( struct ConfigConsole * console, gchar * 
name ) {
   struct AtePane * retval;
   GtkWidget * text;
   GtkWidget * root;
   GtkTextBuffer * buffer;
   GtkTextIter iter;

   retval = ( struct AtePane * )g_malloc( sizeof( struct AtePane * ) );
   atepane_location_set( retval, name );

   text = gtk_text_view_new();
   buffer = gtk_text_view_get_buffer( text );
   root = gtk_scrolled_window_new( NULL, NULL );

   gtk_widget_show( text );
   gtk_widget_show( root );

   atepane_root_set( retval, root );
   atepane_buffer_set( retval, text );
   gtk_text_buffer_get_end_iter( buffer, &iter );
   gtk_text_buffer_create_mark( buffer, "scroll", &iter, FALSE );

   gtk_text_view_set_editable( GTK_TEXT_VIEW( text ), FALSE );

   gtk_scrolled_window_set_policy
           ( GTK_SCROLLED_WINDOW( atepane_root_get( retval ) ),
             GTK_POLICY_AUTOMATIC, GTK_POLICY_AUTOMATIC );

   gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport
           ( GTK_SCROLLED_WINDOW( atepane_root_get( retval ) ),
             GTK_WIDGET( atepane_buffer_get( retval ) ) );
   return retval;
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
