Hello, I have a GtkTextView that I was trying to share between multiple GtkTextBuffers (one at a time of course). Each GtkTextButter had a child anchor that consisted of a GtkTable widget. The GtkTextView displayed the buffer and it's child anchor fine until I switched to another GtkTextBuffer (using gtk_text_view_set_buffer()) and then switched back to the original GtkTextBuffer. When I switched back the table was gone and in its place was the outline of a box where the table had been (the box was smaller than the original table). A co-worker looked at the gtk code and according to him when you switch the buffers using gtk_text_view_set_buffer() any child anchors in the existing GtkTextBuffer get deleted. Is this a bug, feature, or what. It certainly seems bogus to me but maybe there's a good reason for it. Or, maybe my idea for toggling buffers withing a GtkTextView is inappropriate Kent _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
