Re: does being inside a grid make an entry more editable?

[Dan Hitt <dan hitt gmail com>]

ok, i suppose that i said i would report, so i guess i have to own up
to it ----- i really goofed, and had a shadow variable that i was
changing the editability of (so the item in the grid never got it's
editability modified).

(so: nothing to do with gtk3, or grid, or entry, or anything except me
not checking my code carefully enough)
