GtkTextView behavior on focus gained (#81893)

[Jeroen Zwartepoorte <jeroen xs4all nl>]

Hi,

Bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81893 is about the
GtkTextView scrolling to the cursor position on grab_focus. This differs
from behavior of all other (code) editors i know, which only scroll to
the cursor position when the user moves the cursor.

This bug causes untold grief when GtkTextView is used in a
GtkNotebook-based MDI application (like gedit and also anjuta2). The
patch Paolo made (gedit-author) looks good to me, but other people
indicated they didn't want to change the behavior because the cursor is
the only indication that a GtkTextView has the focus. Imho, this is not
enough of a reason to break the behavior people are expecting in an
editor.

What's keeping people from committing the patch? Is the accessibility
issue the only one keeping this bug open?

Thanks,

Jeroen Zwartepoorte
