Funky, eh? It indeed sounds odd. You might consider trying to run a loop: while gtk.events_pending(): gtk.mainiteration() > The program is fairly short, so I'm including the python source here.

Okay, last suggestion of the day is connecting to the "changed" signal, which at least used to be run late enough.

Thanks for the link. I'm doing this as a learning project, but I might end up
using gtksourceview when I'm done, anyway.
I re-wrote my test program in C (*not* fun) and it has the same problem. So
it could be a gtk bug. Interestingly enough, only characters inserted at the
beginning or end of the buffer are initially unstyled. Characters inserted
into the middle of the buffer are green right away.
I just noticed that, in the python version, calling queue_draw() and
mainiteration() at the end of the signal callback causes characters inserted
at the end of the buffer to be immediately green if there is more than one
line. Funky, eh?
The program is fairly short, so I'm including the python source here. I have
updated it to use Christian Reis' suggestion of connect_after(), but the
result is exactly the same as before.
For reference, I have gtk+ 2.2.1. 2.2.2-rc1 is available, but depends on a
new (possibly unstable) version of X that I don't feel like compiling now.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import gtk
window = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
window.connect("destroy", gtk.mainquit)
window.set_border_width(0)
# Set up the text widgets
table = gtk.TextTagTable()
buffer = gtk.TextBuffer(table)
view = gtk.TextView(buffer)
# Create a green-color tag
green = buffer.create_tag("green")
green.set_property("foreground", "green")
# Apply the green tag to inserted text
def bufferInsert(widget, event, *args):
end = widget.get_iter_at_mark(widget.get_insert())
start = end.copy()
start.backward_chars(args[1])
widget.apply_tag(green, start, end)
view.queue_draw()
gtk.mainiteration()
buffer.connect_after("insert-text", bufferInsert)
# Create scrollbars around the TextView.
scroll_window = gtk.ScrolledWindow()
scroll_window.add(view)
# Finish up.
window.add(scroll_window)
window.resize(400, 300)
scroll_window.show()
view.show()
window.show()
gtk.main()

Have you tried connect_after? insert-text is triggered *before* the text
is in the widget.
Take care,
