Description Pradeep KM 2002-03-22 15:54:54 UTC 
The Charactermap keys gives junk characters after keying in 7282 (seven 
thousand two hundred and eighty two) characters.

Steps to reproduce :-
1. Key in 7282 characters in character map text box. 
2. Try entering more charcters , it displays junk characters.
Comment 1 Luis Villa 2002-03-28 06:53:11 UTC 
Correct initial assessment :)
Comment 2 Kevin Vandersloot 2002-03-29 02:54:41 UTC 
There is a gtk bug for this somewhere
Comment 3 Luis Villa 2002-03-30 05:16:51 UTC 
Kevin: oh, it's a gtktextentry bug?
Comment 4 Glynn Foster 2002-04-29 15:28:30 UTC 
I guess this should be fixed for GNOME 2.0 - but it certainly sounds
like a gtktextentry bug. Pradeep, what were you doing, writing a
thesis? :)
Comment 5 Glynn Foster 2002-05-03 22:51:45 UTC 
Owen, Havoc - does this sound familiar to you?

Comment 7 Havoc Pennington 2002-05-04 00:26:04 UTC 
It doesn't sound familiar, but I'm wondering if Pradeep actually typed
in 7,282 characters manually while counting them. ;-)

Is there a test case or test harness we could use to try to reproduce?
(There had better be, because I'm not typing in 7,282 characters
manually... ;-)
Comment 8 Owen Taylor 2002-05-05 17:16:48 UTC 
Just a rendering bug (now, were some fixed bugs earlier)... with 
sufficient characters, what the entry draws wraps around the 
65,536 coordinate space of X.
