Description padraig.obriain 2002-10-04 09:01:17 UTC 
If I click on a row in a GtkTreeView which has nothing selected a changed
signal is emitted by the GtkTreeSelection for the first row and then
subsequently for the row which is selected.
Comment 1 Kristian Rietveld 2002-10-04 18:17:08 UTC 
This is not really spurious. If the treeview gets focus, and no item
has been selected, it will select the first item by default (only if
the selection mode != GTK_SELECTION_NONE).

IMHO this behaviour is questionnable, but I'm sure Jonathan has a
rationale for this (or forgot it :).

So we have two options. Change the current behaviour (which may break
apps), or wait for the mode API and add a special mode.

I'll let Jonathan decide.

Setting on 2.2 API freeze. Chaging behaviour is changing API.
Comment 5 Kristian Rietveld 2002-11-26 22:01:33 UTC 
Jonathan wants to use the mode API here. Punting to 2.4.

Comment 8 Federico Mena Quintero 2004-01-14 22:07:58 UTC 
For reference, this bug is caused by the fix to bug #113086.  We don't
need a modes API; we just need to move the grab_focus() call after the
code which selects the pressed row.

Thanks for reporting,
Fixed.
