Description Matthias Clasen 2003-04-25 22:24:21 UTC 
It would be nice if it was possible to align the baselines of text in
embedded buttons and surrounding text, otherwise it is not really possible
to realize links with embedded buttons, since the baseline is jumping.

While GtkTextView could theoretically check if the
child was a button with a label, retrieve the layout
for the label, etc, I think it basically depends
on adding some sort of facilty for baselines to
the GTK+ geometry system, as is mentioned in bug 104188.

Probably just underlining the words and connecting to
text tag events is the right way to do links currently.
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2015-03-08 13:55:47 UTC 
lets just close this. embedding buttons in textviews is not that common...
