Ethereal-dev: RE: [ethereal-dev] patch to have ethereal scroll bold text into v iew
It crashed pretty much the same way your stuff cored. The patch I attached
does work (and doesn't trigger a core in my testing), but could probably be
rewritten at some point to eliminate the unnecessary flicker. (My note might
not have been particularly clear.)
Right now, I'm sure I could access the members of GtkText and the adjusters
directly without it coreing, but that is just bad code.
