Description Matthias Clasen 2012-03-07 19:24:34 UTC 
if you hit Alt while a label is selected, gtk_label_recalculate is getting called and that calls gtk_label_clear_select_info - I don't think it should do that.

label: Don't use the selection too easily

When we are re-setting the same text for internal reasons
(e.g. when applying the mnemonics-visible change upon Alt press),
we should not needlessly loos the selection.
