Hi,
I have a concrete example about how repeated searching in a script
window shows strange behavior at least on Windows (perhaps because of
GTK2?).
Let's consider the code view of the ParMA package in the GUI program.
This has 2095 lines, and let me search for the word "gnuplot". This
occurs three times, on lines 1367, 1373, and 1379. Let's refer to them
as 1,2,3.
I'm observing different behavior depending on whether I hit the Enter
key repeatedly in the search field or whether I click on the looking
glass symbol with the mouse several times. With the keyboard I get the
expected result, namely highlighting of the found terms in the right
order (123123123123...).
With the mouse, I'm sometimes seeing orderings like 1,2,1, (3 missing),
or 1,3 (2 missing). Not every time, probably not even most of the time,
but often enough.
So is this a GTK bug, and if so, GTK2 only? Or some subtlety in the way
that gretl does the respective call?
thanks
sven
