Description Alex Graveley 2005-03-30 00:34:01 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The mark_set event is emitted too early for the "insert" and "selection_bound"
marks when highlighted text is being deleted, before the text has actually been
removed or the marks reset. Calling gtk_text_buffer_get_selection_bounds() and 
gtk_text_buffer_get_text() inside mark_set handler returns the text that is
being deleted.  

This means that if you need to change the state of something based on whether
any text is selected, you must set an idle handler.

Steps to reproduce:

Does this happen every time?

Test case

Type some text, select it, then delete it.  The mark_set handler prints the
text that is being deleted, when it shouldn't print anything.

Modified test case

This code shows that the bug doesn't exist. There are some misterious marks
which are set during deleting text, but the insert and selection-bound marks
are fine - when you get mark-set for them, the text is already deleted.
