Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2002-02-05 16:09:47 UTC 
What is going on is that it's not possible to use a
child anchor until it is attached with 
gtk_text_buffer_insert_child_anchor(). This particular case
has a meaningful fallback; probably in other cases nothing
more is possible than a g_return_if_fail()?

	* gtk/gtktextchild.c: Add warnings if you try to use a child
	anchor that isn't inside a buffer. Really kind of lame; 
	we should separate the anchor from the buffer. But not worth 
	fixing for now. #70601
