Re: GtkText redrawing problem

[Owen Taylor <otaylor redhat com>]

Basically, GtkText is known to be buggy in so many ways, that reports
like this seldom get much of a rise out of people.

Still, if you can create a test case and file a bug report on
bugzilla.gnome.org, then it's conceivable someone will look at it and
fix it. (But unless you provide a patch that is obviously right, not
all that likely, since GtkText is being deprecated for GTK+-2.0.)

Regards,
                                        Owen
