Norbert, Thanks for the reply. I have gtk+2 and gtk+3 installed as well as lib libgtksourceview-2 and libgtksourceview-3. When looking for functionality, I go though all and draw from what will most closely fit the bill. Fortunately/unfortunately much of the implementation is left to the programmer regardless of the version used. While using gtksourceview provides a native case in-sensitive search, none of the versions provides specific functions for limiting the search range and direction beyond the basic iter_forward_search iter_backward_search, etc... This question however is unrelated to the choice or version of the toolkit used, it's more general in how to prevent closing of a modal dialog, and the associated change in window focus, etc.., from interfering with a highlighted set of words set with select_range immediately after the dialog closes. It may come down to "How do I confirm that a dialog is fully closed (e.g. the widget fully destroyed) before setting the selection to insure there is no possibility of changing focus undoing the selection? I'll keep looking. -- David C.
