Gtk.Scale with marks that are too close to each other results in overlapped labels. See attached screenshot.

Simple reproducer in Python -- https://gist.github.com/vojtechtrefny/dbdd50691fd78c7abb2f

Found this bug --https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608807 -- for Gtk 2, same problem appears in Gtk 3.

yeah, this is a bit of a manual api. If you place your marks very close to each other, you should place them on alternative sides
Comment 2 Vojtech Trefny 2015-03-15 16:26:53 UTC 
Ok, I would kinda expect Gtk will handle this somehow because there is no way I can know the size of the labels and actual position of the mark (or is there?).
