Bug#401725: libgtk2.0-0: in combobox with treemodel the "changed" signal is also emited when a subtree box pops up

[Achim Gaedke]

Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.10.6-4
Severity: minor


Hi there!

I write an application with pygtk, assuming this problem has its origin in libgtk.
The combobox is fed with a CellRenererText and a TreeStore to store my submenus.

When the model is fed with some 100 entries. While browsing the submenus I print out
the "changed" signals. Without releasing the left mouse button I receive plenty of
these signals. They were emited when a new subtree window is displayed, but no item
is definitely selected.

This problem is also observable in gtk version 2.8.
