Hi guys,

I just tried to load a ~200 kb string into GtkTextView, and there are bugs in the viewing of the string. The most noticeable is that when you try to scroll, the text disappears and/or overlaps.

Is GtkTextView completely unsuitable for viewing large amounts of text? Is there an alternative?

Many thanks,

Andrew

I've loaded apache logs into a GtkTextView that were over 50 megs and had no trouble at all. What is the code you're using to load the textview?

Hmm, gtk_text_view_new, gtk_text_buffer_new, gtk_text_buffer_set_text, gtk_text_view_set_buffer. The code's a bit scattered.

I should have mentioned, this is one long line of text (there are no linebreaks) which is probably the reason. I can whip up a testcase tomorrow (if that's actually useful), but I think you'll reproduce it by simply trying to load 200k of text into a single line.

Actually, that's interesting. I was going to write a test program, however, just when creating the test text file, it gets funky in gedit (when word wrapping is off). As soon as I insert the 4098th character, the line "disappears" and "reappears" again near the beginning of the line but kind of flakey.

Anybody know of a bug?
