RE: Help with gtktext.c/find_line_containing_point() function

["Villalovos, John L" <john l villalovos intel com>]

Thanks for the information.  What I did discover is that there is a bug in
GtkText where if the size of your textbox is smaller that the size of your
text it will get confused and hang.

This occurs when I have a single line textbox and I put a couple of
characters at the beginning of the text box and then tab past the end of the
line and it displays a new line.  When I try to backspace back it locks up.

This appears to be because the code messes up on the transition from the 1st
section of text to the second section of text.  This causes invalid values
to be placed in the start data and causes a hang later on when you try to
backspace.

I fixed my problem by making my text box taller but there is an underlying
problem but I don't have the bandwidth to fix it at the moment :(

Later,
John

But you are still using code that originated from the GtkText code base, 
right? I did not mean "descendent" in the sense of inheritance, only
in the sense of code reuse.

I was suggesting that John might look to see what changes you made
in that area, in case you had fixed the problem he was having in
GtkExText.
