Thanks for the debug envvar. Overall, feels more robust now. Still a few things that are odd: - I guess the fact that double and triple clicking gives me a nonempty selection with just a single handle is not really an issue, since you don't double click on a touchscreen. - I can't select 'backwards' ie click and then drag against the text direction. Maybe not a huge deal, but it is noticable to me. - In the hypertext example of gtk3-demo, when clicking on a link, I end up with a leftover handle at the wrong position. - Selecting text in an entry, moving the focus away (to remove the handles), and then clicking in the selection to bring the focus back, I see the two handles appear at the ends of the selection, and when I release the mouse button, the selection gets collapsed to the cursor with a single handle. That is a little irritating and flickery - In the 'entry buffer' example, type some text in the first entry, then select it (two handles appear). Now click in the second entry (the two handles in the first entry disappear, and the cursor in the second entry gets a single handle). Now hit tab twice to cycle the focus back. The first entry now has two handles again. The fact that the handles reappeared on focus in in this case seems arbitrary, they don't do otherwise - In a scrollable entry, I seem to be able to scroll to the end by moving the second handle all the way to the end. But it doesn't seem to work in the other direction - In text views, there seem to be situations where it is not possible to move the handles closer to each other, although they're still more than a row apart (see attached screenshot). - Scrolling to extend the selection seems to generally work fine in text views, but I've managed to get to a situation where the handles disappeared after a lot of scrolling, and then they never wanted to come back afterwards (they always briefly flashed in when I started a new selection, and then disappeared again). Haven't been able to reproduce that consistently.
