This combination is using code paths in cairo and graphics drivers which are rarely tested and likely buggy. +* GtkTextView is now using a pixel-cache internally, and is drawing + a background underneath the text. This can cause problems for applications + which assumed that they could draw things below and above the text + by chaining up in the ::draw implementation of their GtkTextView subclass. + As a short-term workaround, you can make the application apply a + custom theme to the text view with a transparent background. For + a proper fix, use the new ::draw_layer vfunc. + Release notes for 3.12 ====================== -- 2.30.2
