Well I played with some tag table calls and now things work correctly. Previously I was using: | gtk_text_view_new()
which creates a TextView and a buffer, then | buf[i] = gtk_text_view_get_buffer() to get the buffer object. Then for each new tag in each buffer: | gtk_text_buffer_create_tag(buf[i],....) That was very inefficient, since I wanted each buffer to have all the same tags. So I re-worked the code so it only created the tags once in the first buffer and then I created subsequent buffers using that tag set. Here are the basics of what I did: | GtkTextTagTable *main_tag_table; | tv[0] = gtk_text_view_new(); | buf[0] = gtk_text_view_get_buffer(GTK_TEXT_VIEW(tv[0]); | main_tag_table = gtk_text_buffer_get_tag_table(buf[0]); For subsequent buffers: | buf[i] = gtk_text_buffer_new(main_tag_table); | tv[i] = gtk_text_view_new_with_buffer(buf[i]); Then create new tags only in the first buffer: | gtk_text_buffer_create_tag(buf[0], ..., ....); I still called: | gtk_text_buffer_register_serialize_tagset() and | gtk_text_buffer_register_deserialize_tagset() in each buffer. So there's something about not sharing that tag table that makes middle-button paste act strangely. Might have been a GTK bug, or some part of my code (always more likely ☺). However, the Primary clipboard after selecting text that is followed by an image (in a TextView buffer, that is) still has all that unselected image data. But somehow it doesn't get pasted by middle-button click, so that's odd. _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
