It's hard to believe that such a regression went unnoticed for a whole cycle of GTK+ 3.4, however many apps still use GTK+2 and so I guess we're slowly getting more feedback as applications port to GTK+3 or new applications are written.
That said, you are writing some new code yes ? If you are, then is there any reason why you would want your new code to target an old version of GTK+ ? Surely your app can depend on GTK+ 3.8, or 3.6 at least ? On Wed, Apr 24, 2013 at 12:44 AM, D.H.
