Re: GtkTextBuffer: how to insert new line?

[Paolo Costabel <paolo zebradevelopment com>]

You cannot use -1 for the length, at least according to the documentation.

void        gtk_text_buffer_insert_at_cursor
                                           (GtkTextBuffer <cid:part1.04040407.06070302@zebradevelopment.com> 
*buffer,
                                            const gchar *text,
                                            gint len);

/buffer/ : 	a GtkTextBuffer 
<cid:part1.04040407.06070302@zebradevelopment.com>
/text/ :        some text in UTF-8 format
/len/ :         length of text, in bytes


Plus, why are you adding a NULL terminator? And yes, it  inserted four 
newlines. I put four to make it more obvious.
