Description Federico Mena Quintero 2009-02-25 17:56:25 UTC 
Before actually ending the selection drag, gtk_text_view_button_release_event() doesn't update the selection with respect to the mouse position from the ButtonRelease event.  It should do that to avoid a seemingly out-of-sync selection on slow machines, or on heavily loaded machines.

Also, I think the calls to gdk_event_request_motions() should be done *after* the motion-event handlers finish their expensive work, so that the next motion event will be with respect to the mouse position *after* the expensive work is done.

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.
