Description Mathias Hasselmann (IRC: tbf) 2005-04-17 19:56:25 UTC 
When programatically selecting some item in SINGLE or BROWSE mode via
gtk_icon_view_select_path, the item specified by path is highlighted, but the
cursor remains at the previously selected item. This is confusing and looks bogous.

Therefore either the cursor_item should point on the activated item after
calling select-path or there should be some API for modifying the cursor_item.
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2005-04-29 17:12:40 UTC 
gtk_icon_view_select_path() only modifies the selection, not the cursor position.
The patch in bug 148144 will add, among other things, gtk_icon_view_set_cursor()
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2005-05-02 20:38:16 UTC 
Reopen if gtk_icon_view_set_cursor() is not suitable for your needs.
