Description Hubert Figuiere (:hub) 2011-11-19 06:04:57 UTC 
in gtkcellarea.c around line 1477
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/tree/gtk/gtkcellarea.c

gtk_cell_area_activate_cell() is called with a NULL event.

The comment says:
       * Currently just not sending an event, renderers afaics dont use
       * the event argument anyway, worst case is we can synthesize one.

I have a case where event is actually needed.

http://git.gnome.org/browse/niepce/tree/src/niepce/ui/librarycellrenderer.cpp

This is still the Gtk(mm) 2 code but I hit the problem in my gtk3 port.

The event is needed because we deal with the click in the custom cell renderer.

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.
