Hi,

the GtkTextView is initialized with:

Code: (C++)

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12

pOutputView = gtk_text_view_new();
gtk_text_view_set_border_window_size(GTK_TEXT_VIEW(pOutputView), GTK_TEXT_WINDOW_TEXT, 1);
gtk_text_view_set_editable(GTK_TEXT_VIEW(pOutputView), false);

pOutputWindow = gtk_scrolled_window_new( NULL, NULL);

gtk_scrolled_window_set_policy(GTK_SCROLLED_WINDOW(pOutputWindow), GTK_POLICY_AUTOMATIC, GTK_POLICY_ALWAYS);

gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport(GTK_SCROLLED_WINDOW(pOutputWindow), pOutputView);

pOutputBuffer = gtk_text_view_get_buffer (GTK_TEXT_VIEW(pOutputView));

After a line is written to the buffer the view should scroll down with:

Code: (C++)

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

GtkTextIter iterEnd;
gtk_text_buffer_get_end_iter(pOutputBuffer, &iterEnd);
gtk_text_buffer_insert(pOutputBuffer, &iterEnd, szOutput, -1);

// scroll down
gtk_text_buffer_get_end_iter(pOutputBuffer, &iterEnd);
GtkTextMark *pMarkEnd = gtk_text_buffer_get_mark(pOutputBuffer, MARK_END_NAME);
gtk_text_buffer_move_mark(pOutputBuffer, pMarkEnd, &iterEnd);
gtk_text_view_scroll_to_mark(GTK_TEXT_VIEW(pOutputView), pMarkEnd, 0, false, 0, 0);

... but it doesn't work. I can see that the view is scrolling down for milliseconds and then poping back to the top of the buffer again.

Any suggestion?

ps: the gtk version is 2.6.10
