Hi,

I have a concrete example about how repeated searching in a script window shows strange behavior at least on Windows (perhaps because of GTK2?).

Let's consider the code view of the ParMA package in the GUI program. This has 2095 lines, and let me search for the word "gnuplot". This occurs three times, on lines 1367, 1373, and 1379. Let's refer to them as 1,2,3.

I'm observing different behavior depending on whether I hit the Enter key repeatedly in the search field or whether I click on the looking glass symbol with the mouse several times. With the keyboard I get the expected result, namely highlighting of the found terms in the right order (123123123123...).

With the mouse, I'm sometimes seeing orderings like 1,2,1, (3 missing), or 1,3 (2 missing). Not every time, probably not even most of the time, but often enough.

So is this a GTK bug, and if so, GTK2 only? Or some subtlety in the way that gretl does the respective call?

thanks

sven
