Textview not scrolling to show full text in IRC client
am 14.04.2008 22:23:10 von deadpickleI have this IRC client that wont scroll far enough down to show the
full text. Its rather hard to explain but I'll give it a try:
when you get down to the bottom on the textview and you go to enter a
message such as:
John(10:00:00) I have to go to the story today and get some fruit.
And this message is the last one to be entered before the bottom of
the window therefore causing it to have to scroll down, the program
only shows the first line:
John(10:00:00) I have to go to the story
Forcing the user to scroll down to view the rest:
today and get some fruit.
You can see that this would be a problem when users are chatting,
having to always take your attention off of the session just to scroll
down and view the whole message. Currently the program uses the code
$chat_textview->scroll_to_mark wher mark is the end iter of the
buffer. I cant figure how to get this to work and show the whole text
without the user having to manually scroll down. I figured that this
would do it but it wont work. Here is the code, its functional so you
can try it and see what I mean.
