GtkCellRendererText vs. single paragraph mode
Last modified: 2011-02-04 16:12:26 UTC
There seems to be no way of setting the layout's single paragraph mode and thus no way to get visible newlines.
Following up on maclas@gmx.de's component change...
er, what's the rationale for this? I'm curious why you'd want that.
Gnumeric's text import allows newlines to end up as data (rather than as separators) for several reasons, the most obvious one being quites: "oink","oink oink", "oink oink oink" In the import preview I want to be able to see what's there and not have it break lines. Longer term, having all lines the same height will hopefully allow decent performance for large tables. (Make one with 50000 lines of 200 columns to see what I mean.)
Do we want to expose the layout, or just add a single-paragraph-mode setting. Are there other uses for the layout that makes it worthwhile?
I don't think you want to expose the layout.
I agree. Lets just add a 'single-paragraph-mode' setting to the GtkCellRendererText.
Fixed on HEAD.
