Re: Drawing on gtk textview

["Miroslav Rajcic" <rajcic sokrates hr>]

I had a same problem a while ago with expose drawing, and it turned out that 
the problem was this:

to draw something in your handler, you must use "event->window" as a pointer 
to the window that is being drawn, not "widget->window" or anything else.

Once I've made that change, my expose drawing started to work fine.
You can see an example of this within my Notecase project source code 
(http://notecase.sourceforge.net/)

I hope this helps.

Regards,
 Miroslav
