From f967d6fb26321d07bd61769ae3c793f97b203b94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sun, 13 Nov 2011 15:17:38 -0200 Subject: [PATCH] Fix the stupid gtk combo box text reset issue for real Lubomir's solution to fill them with a newline doesn't work. Well, it may work on some versions of gtk, but on mine it just results in an ugly box for the control character '000a' that tries to show the newline. So this is a third approach: if we reset the text to empty, first set it to space (to clear it), and then set it to empty. That seems to work on at least one version of gtk, and doesn't have the problem with the space *remaining* when you cut-and-paste something into the combo box. Let's see if it breaks anything else, but at worst it should be no worse than the old "set it to space" approach - iow the combo box might remember the space, but at least not some random data from the previous dive that it happened to show. Lovely gtk bugs.
