RE: Vala runtime error when inserting child button on Gtk.TextView

[Jason Shortt <jasonshortt gmail com>]

Hey Guys,

I was able to find a solution to my problem.  In Vala, after inserting the child button I re-set the TextIterator to the end position of the TextBuffer.  Seems to have solved the issue.  Here is the updated code:

     //button to show person window:

      LinkButton linkButton = new LinkButton();

      linkButton.label = "edit";

      linkButton.LinkedEntity = person;

      linkButton.clicked.connect (this.show_person_window);

      //attach the button

      TextChildAnchor anchor = bufferResults.create_child_anchor(iter);

      textviewResults.add_child_at_anchor(linkButton, anchor);

      bufferResults.get_end_iter(out iter);  // <----  This Fixes the runtime error.

      linkButton.show_all();
