GtkText 1.2.8 bug, report as of so far...

[learfox furry ao net]

I don't think this is a GtkProgressBar problem at all now, but here's my
findings as of so far.

I have a function:



gtk_text_freeze(text);

/* A gtk progress bar is updated here. */

while(gtk_events_pending())
        gtk_main_iteration();

if(something)
{
        gtk_text_backward_delete(one character);
        gtk_text_insert(one character);
}
else
{
        gtk_text_insert(some characters);
}

gtk_text_thaw(text);




In the above case, GTK crashes at random times and sometimes dosen't
crash at all. I've seen problems like segfaults, assertion bails and other
exotic errors I haven't seen in my 8 years of coding.

I've always tested that function under the same order of data given to
that function. Sometimes GTK crashes and other times it does not.

I really can't make heads or tails out of it but the only thing I could
figure out is that it will NOT cause GTK to crash under the following
circumstance that I remove any gtk_main_iteration() calls between
a gtk_text_freeze() and gtk_text_thaw().

I suspect that gtk_text_backward_delete() and gtk_text_insert() have some
problem that messes up GTK internally when used in the above combination.

Does anyone have any idea on what I should go from here?
