Selecting text will not trigger GtkEntry:selection-bound

v4.20.3


Moving the cursor will modify this property.
But selecting the text does not trigger the event.

Why? That’s strange.

Hi,

The selection-bound is the origin of the selection, it should be initially at the same position as the cursor one, then as the selection extends only the cursor-position should change.

Note that sometimes watching GtkEditable properties on the GtkEntry doesn’t reliably work, better get the GtkText delegate with gtk_editable_get_delegate(entry) , which also implements GtkEditable, and watch its properties instead.
