Though doesn't happen with a plain text renderer. I have tested this with my code, and this is exactly what is happening Before the edited function is called, the liststore is sorted again, so the path string points to the row that is now at the previous position (ie:the next row) If the change made does not mean the row is sorted to a different position then the same row is referenced, example (where the first is value in column 0 and second is a fixed row indicator) in both cases this the first row Sort reorders the rows /data/staging -> /data/staging2 /data/1staging 2 Sort does not reorder row /data/staging -> /data/1staging /data/1staging 1 Mike _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
