[java-gnome-hackers] Voodoo in TextView

[Andrew C. <an...@op...>]

Just FYI, I've been hammering away on a fringe part of the TextView API,
see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534308
and http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.gtk%2B.general/18960

It's pretty crazy stuff. Mostly I've just been flailing about, but I
made some progress. I'll see about getting some of the more useful bits
polished up and committed in the next few days.

One things I'm totally clueless on, though, are the meanings of
GtkScrollType as used by some of the Scrolling things:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/gtk-Standard-Enumerations.html#GtkScrollType 

and then how that all relates to the GtkMovementStep constants
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/gtk-Standard-Enumerations.html#GtkMovementStep

those show up in the MOVE_CURSOR signal on TextView. Then there is the
MOVE_VIEWPORT signal, which doesn't seem to do anything at all. It's all
fairly confusing.

Like I said, I'll commit what of this I can; there will be a lot of
TODOs (not something I normally like to leave in when committing things)
and more to the point there's a fair bit of stuff that I'm not sure we
need. If anyone is interested in helping get in touch and we can see if
we can figure it out.
