GtkTextView tags and insertion at begin/end

[Steve Splonskowski <splons mac com>]

Hello,

I have a GtkTextView that I am using in my app - the contents of it  
are setup from text and style runs that I convert into the necessary  
tags corresponding to the tags - all works as expected.

The only problem I am experiencing is that when text is inserted (by  
typing or pasting) either at the beginning or end of the text in the  
view it seems to get just default styling. For example text typed in  
before the first character does not get the same styling as the first  
existing character in the buffer (as I would expect it to).

Any pointers on how to setup the tags for the text view so that text  
typed at the beginning or end get styled to correspond to the  
existing text?


thanks,
steve
