There are actually two functions you can use to scroll the window to insure a text mark (usually the 'insert' mark) is visible within your view, e.g. (the following is from a find/replace widget I made) https://github.com/drankinatty/gtkwrite/blob/master/gtk_findreplace.c#L920 /* scroll window to mark to insure match is visible */ #ifndef TOMARK gtk_text_view_scroll_to_mark (GTK_TEXT_VIEW (app->view), app->last_pos, 0.0, TRUE, 0.95, 0.8); #else gtk_text_view_scroll_mark_onscreen (GTK_TEXT_VIEW (app->view), app->last_pos); #endif The gtk_text_view_scroll_to_mark give you finer control over how far from the bottom/top of your view the mark is displayed, the gtk_text_view_scroll_mark_onscreen just makes sure it is visible (but generally does a fine job) I left a #define in the code when I wrote it so I could compare the behavior of each. I use the gtk_text_view_scroll_to_mark by default. Both give instantaneous performance, even in a longer file (for me that is 2000 - 5000 lines) Also note it is called from 'btnreplace_activate' https://github.com/drankinatty/gtkwrite/blob/master/gtk_findreplace.c#L1001 and the scroll is wrapped within begin/end user action to prevent any selection bound changes being momentarily visible during the find/replace operation: gtk_text_buffer_begin_user_action (buffer); (code for gtk_text_view_scroll_to_mark gtk_text_buffer_end_user_action (buffer); You shouldn't notice any delay when implementing the scroll in any reasonable size file. -- David C.

I'm using the system to single step program execution, so I will do many steps. The problem at the moment is when loading the program, and scrolling to the start of the program (the 'reset' position), but I see that the slowing down delay is quite visible even when scrolling just one line with the arrow keys. I have some Gtk-2 programs where the delay is not apparent. Maybe this is configurable?

Re: How to scroll to a specific line
Thanks for the suggestion. Believe it or not, I had just arrived at that same solution! I first tried to use GLib.timeout_add(), and that worked too, if the time was larger than 300 - 400 ms, which is on the verge of annoying. I then tried idle_add(), and I guess that makes the 300-400ms 'built-in'. How many lines of text do you have? With 500 - 700 lines of text, my scrolling is instantaneous. The scroll feature itself has a 'soft' stop, but that is quite acceptable for me, as it is easier to adjust my eyes to the change.

Hello Reuben.
Thanks for the suggestion. Believe it or not, I had just arrived at that
same solution! I first tried to use GLib.timeout_add(), and that worked too,
if the time was larger than 300 - 400 ms, which is on the verge of annoying.
I then tried idle_add(), and I guess that makes the 300-400ms 'built-in'.
Now, can this visible delay be eliminated? Maybe disabling the scroll
animation alltogether? (it's really visually a scrolling issue) I haven't seen
this problem in Geany (which I believe uses scintilla).
I did a more complete description of the issue on Stackoverflow, because, at
first, I didn't see my question appearing on the mailing list here:

get_iter_at_line, place_cursor, place_cursor_onscreen, and others. Even tried to
more or less calculate the scroll position and manipulate the vadjustments.
An example:
itr = self.tbff.get_iter_at_line(linenr)
self.tbff.place_cursor(itr)
self.tview.place_cursor_onscreen()
I suspect that the problem may come from the fact that the widget has not
been rendered yet. I also tried to defer the actual scroll to GLib.idle_add,
but that didn't work out either.
This has worked for me:
text_iter = self.source_buffer.get_iter_at_line (linenr)
self.source_buffer.place_cursor(text_iter)
self.source_view.scroll_to_iter(text_iter, 0.1, True, 0.0, 0.5)
I have also seen place_cursor_onscreen() work well. Now the thing is,
none of this will work until the Gtk.SourceView has properly been
rendered. This means doing something like:
self.source_buffer.set_text("my text")
GLib.idle_add(self.scroll_function)
def scroll_function (self):
# your scroll code here, like you use already
So you see, the scroll part is not the problem, but rather the
calculations of iters fails, because these iters are not yet, or are
invalidated when the buffer/view changes.
Cheers, Reuben
