Re: gtkCompletion entry changed vs focus

I've been informed by Benjamin Monate that this may be a bug in gtk and
proposed the following:


<start of quote>
As a workaround you can use:
print_endline (m#get ~row:i ~column:{col_string with creator=0}) ;

Which is ugly and bypasses the lablgtk internal consistency checks between
columns and models.

The cleaner version for next lablgtk2 version will probably be:
print_endline (m#child_model#get ~row:(m#convert_iter_to_child_iter i)
~column:col_string) ;
