It seems bug also occurs when using Chinese input.

I'll attach patch to fix it. http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/5681 The following is why it happens. 1. Conversation entry area is about to overflow and a complex character is entered via IM and put into preedit area of TextEntry. 2. resize_imhtml_cb() is invoked. It iterates through the text buffer display-line-by-display-line counting display lines. Although the display line iteration itself does consider characters in preedit area, the preedit area is not part of the text buffer, so the iterator reaches end where the text buffer ends and the preedit area starts. So, the display line count is off by -1. 3. resize_imhtml_cb() requests resize and finishes. 4. gtk goes out and resizes the area. It of course considers the pre-edit area. As the text view is too small to accommodate text buffer + preedit area, vscroll is created, which reduces its width and thus overflowing characters at the end of the text buffer into the next line. 5. resize_imhtml_cb() is invoked again. As the width has been shrank, the end of the text buffer overflowed into the next line along with the preedit area. So, this time, the line count is correct. 6. resize_imhtml_cb() requests resize and finishes. 7. gtk resizes again. As the height is now enough to contain everything, it removes the vscroll and the width is restored. 8. goto 2, ad nauseam. The problem is that there's no way to access or determine the size of the preedit area via TextView? interface. The patch uses unsupported gtk_text_layout_get_size(), which returns the final size of the rendered area to work around the problem. It's cleaner and more efficient. IMHO, proper solution would be adding similar interface to TextView. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
