Hi Hannes,

Hmmmm, not 100% sure of the dotted focus border you mean.  When I set 
the selection to the first row of a TreeView widget, it selects the 
entire row with nothing graphically different about the first column:

        // Temporary GtkPath
        GtkTreePath                     *tmp_path;                              

        // Select the top row in the TreeView widget
        tmp_path = gtk_tree_path_new_first();
gtk_tree_view_set_cursor(GTK_TREE_VIEW(treeview_widget), tmp_path, NULL, 
FALSE);

Is there a chance the way you're setting the path, or the value you're 
using for the focus_column parameter (NULL in code above), might be 
giving you a problem?

Regards and best wishes,
