Re: GtkTextView scroll preservation

[Dov Grobgeld <dov grobgeld gmail com>]

Thanks. With your example I somehow managed to get solve it, though I feel the solution is quite ugly:

• There should be a more direct way of requesting that a certain line be displayed in the textview after insertion other than playing recursive tricks with the adjustment callbacks!
• Even though I'm doing one atomic insertion of the entire contents of the text buffer through gtk_text_buffer_set_text() there are several callbacks to to the adjustments taking place, each one causing a redraw of the scrollbars and probably of the text view as well.

Regards,
Dov
