Description Soren Sandmann Pedersen 2004-10-23 20:25:11 UTC 
Currently, when a row in a tree model gets a new position, you are supposed to
emit the "rows_reordered" signal. Unfortunately that signal takes O(n) time to
generate. It would be better if "changed" would be extended to mean "this row
may have changed position". 

This is strictly speaking not an incompatible change since you could conceive of
non-GtkTreeView consumers of GtkTreeModel that wouldn't be prepared to accept
"changed" as 'may have changed position'. This may or may not be a problem in
practice. If it is, maybe a new signal, "position changed", could be added.

See also bug 153479.

We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are closing bugs that haven't seen activity in more than 5 years. If this issue is still imporant to you and
still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please consider creating a gitlab issue
for it.
