font selection box only scrollable horizontally and not vertically on first use

[Fernando Lopez Jr]

Steps to reproduce:

> Open inkscape
> Create and Edit Text Objects (F8)
> Type some text
> Click on Font Selection Box and you will see no vertical scrolling bar.

work around:
> just close font selection box and re-open font selection box.

running on slackware linux 13.37 / fluxbox 64 bits.
Inkscape 0.48.2 r9819

bash-4.1$ file inkscape
inkscape: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

Reproduced with Inkscape 0.48.2, 0.48.3.1 and 0.48+devel r11284 on OS X 10.7.2 (64bit).

Only happens once per opened document window (on first use of text tool).

Reoccurs in other document windows opened from within the same Inkscape process (menu 'File > Open…') as well as in a duplicate window (menu 'Edit > Duplicate window').

still there in r11729 (thanks for leading me to this bug report, suv!)

font selection dropdown disables "typing find" of font

Quoting from new duplicate bug #1482926:
> Initial investigation suggests that the problem may be occurring
> because the dropdown list displays while the list itself is being
> populated and cells rendered by calls to src/libnrtype/font-
> lister.cpp:font_lister_cell_data_funct. In particular I am
> suspicious about the call to gtk_rc_parse_string in
> src/widgets/text- toolbar.cpp:sp_text_toolbox_prep that occurs before
> the calls to font_lister_cell_data_funct have completed.
> (Artificially slowing down the latter causes the incomplete list to
> be clipped to a smaller height.) Yet we couldn't find an easy fix.

Tested on 74036898e9e69917d4f9d6d10135286b3255c6c8 (post Inkscape 1.0) and this seems to be fixed :) probably thanks to the move to GTK-3. So closing this bug.

Sorry, just checked again and actually that's NOT fixed. Migrated to gitlab: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/2732

Looks like I can no longer set the bug status to Invalid, but the bug's status should be Invalid (open, but migrated to Gitlab)
