Set GDK_POINTER_MOTION_HINT_MASK on GtkTreeView's window
Last modified: 2015-05-10 22:25:26 UTC
GtkTreeView does not set GDK_POINTER_MOTION_HINT_MASK on its window. An example of where this would be useful would be for trees which select the item underneath the mouse. This problem specifically occurs in Eclipse: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=62405 I am not sure if this would be a breaking change.
Owen said this was a breaking change at this GTK+ team meeting: http://www.gtk.org/plan/meetings/20041025.txt Furthermore, the bug in eclipse seems to actually be bug 170600. That said, it would be nice to set the hint mask on the tree, especially if clients are listening for mouse events on it. If it were enabled, it would solve our problems and maybe more. Adding an API to set the hint on the tree's window would be nice.
After eea16f03f5b3f76da165dba805a819f4c760cefa, this is probably obsolete.
