Hi Paolo: First, thanks a lot for your quick response! Am 04.01.06 20:30 schrieb(en) Paolo Maggi:

I think the problem is due to the fact you use [:alnum:]. I think you should try to match all characters except _
Hmm, that's not exactly what I want - [^_] would also match all other unicode chars for which g_unichar_isalnum() is not TRUE (see [1]). Building a proper unicode class seems to be like pulling a whale on the beach...

Hmm, I see. Anyway, multiline matching would simplify life a lot, so if you ever consider to introduce it... ;-) Of course, this is nonsense if you limit GtkSourceView's matching to programming languages, but human-readable stuff (like my case) may have different requirements (also the point above).
No idea. It may be a repainting problem. Please, file a bug in bugzilla.
Might also be a problem that balsa launches a g_timeout to re-wrap the buffer (which under some circumstances makes the application crash), I'll investigate that.

Cool, I'll look forward to that!
Cheers, Albrecht.
