Hello,

I've still not given up on inserting formatted text into a buffer on the
fly. This is the code I have at the moment. It is a function called each
time the user presses an input key, by the "insert-text" event.

def on_text_inserted(self, buffer, iter, text, length, data=None):
        start = iter.copy()
        end = iter.copy()
        for tag in self.tag_list:
                self.apply_tag(tag, start, end)
        
Where tag_list is a list of gtk.TextTags. This code produces no
formatting at all when there are tags in the list. If I move the "start"
iter back one position (backward_char()), then the second last character
in the buffer is formatted. I cannot move the "end" iter forward at all
(end.forward_char() returns FALSE). In this case, self is a
gtk.TextBuffer.

This almost works, but it doesn't. Has anyone got any suggestions? It
seems I cannot get two iters to surround the last character in the
buffer.

Thanks,
~djc
