found text and marked text don't match in gjots2 pygtk app

[Rolf Leggewie]

I'm assigning this to pygtk because I assume this is not a gjots2 issue but a gtk issue. Looking through gjots2's dependencies, pygtk seemed like the most likely candidate. Please reassign freely.

gjots2 has a search function. It does find the patterns just fine. But as you can see from the attached screenshot, the marked text is off to the right by about 10-15 pixels from the actual text.

I have the most recent lucid package installed 2.3.9-2 -> http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/gjots2

seems rather a bug in gjots2 and how it's setting the range to highlight, the search dialog is not a pygtk or gtk widget

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

still present in upstream 2.3.12

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

still present in upstream 2.3.15 (or maybe this is a gtk2 bug?)

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package gjots2 - 2.4.1-1
