Re: Extra space after textview (cross-posted from gtk-app-devel-list)



Doing a single show_all after the widget hierarchy is in place, as shown below, seems to fix this. I would guess this is due to changes in geometry management between GTK+ 2 and 3.

from gi.repository import Gtk

win = Gtk.Window()
win.connect("destroy", Gtk.main_quit)
win.set_default_size(300, 500)
#win.show_all()

scrolledwindow = Gtk.ScrolledWindow()
scrolledwindow.set_border_width(10)
scrolledwindow.set_policy(Gtk.PolicyType.NEVER, Gtk.PolicyType.ALWAYS)
win.add(scrolledwindow)
#scrolledwindow.show()

vbox = Gtk.VBox()
scrolledwindow.add(vbox)

#vbox.show()

def AddTextView(i):
    global vbox;
    textview = Gtk.TextView()
    textbuffer = textview.get_buffer()
textbuffer.set_text("This is some text inside of a Gtk.TextView. In GTK3, the more lines that are here, the more extra blank space appears after the textview when it is initially created.

    textview.set_wrap_mode(Gtk.WrapMode.WORD)

Hi,

I have a scrolledwindow+vbox with multiple textviews one after the other strung together.
Built against gtk2, things appear fine. I'm trying to upgrade to gtk3, and
have a problem.

In GTK3, extra blank space appears after each textview when it is initially
created. As soon as I resize the window, the extra space disappears. It is this
phantom "extra space" that I need to get rid of. Any ideas what is wrong?

The following python-gtk programs demonstrate. The gtk2 version of this code
does not have the phantom space on initial creation.

Thanks,

Matt
