If multiple nested widgets have drag sources on them, both using bubble
phase, we need to reliably pick the inner one. Both of them will try to
start dragging, and we need to make sure there are no situations where the
outer widget starts drag earlier and cancels the inner one.
Currently, this can easily happen via integer rounding: start and current
coordinates passed into gtk_drag_check_threshold() are initially doubles
(other than in GtkNotebook and GtkIconView), and are casted to ints. Then
those rounded values are used to calculate deltas to compare to the drag
threshold, losing quite a lot of precision along the way, and often
resulting in the outer widget getting larger deltas.
To avoid it, just don't round it. Introduce a variant of the function that
operates on doubles: gtk_drag_check_threshold_double() and use it instead
of the original everywhere.
To build a better world sometimes means having to tear the old one down.

ATK served us well for nearly 20 years, but the world has changed, and
GTK has changed with it. Now ATK is mostly a hindrance towards improving
the accessibility stack:
- it maps to a very specific implementation, AT-SPI, which is Linux and
Unix specific
- it requires implementing the same functionality in three different
layers of the stack: AT-SPI, ATK, and GTK
- only GTK uses it; every other Linux and Unix toolkit and application
talks to AT-SPI directly, including assistive technologies
Sadly, we cannot incrementally port GTK to a new accessibility stack;
since ATK insulates us entirely from the underlying implementation, we
cannot replace it piecemeal. Instead, we're going to remove everything
and then incrementally build on a clean slate:
- add an "accessible" interface, implemented by GTK objects directly,
which describe the accessible role and state changes for every UI
element
- add an "assistive technology context" to proxy a native accessibility
API, and assign it to every widget
- implement the AT context depending on the platform

The tooltip handling in GtkWidget is "special":
- the string is stored inside the qdata instead of the private
instance data
- the accessors call g_object_set() and g_object_get(), and the
logic is all inside the property implementation, instead of
being the other way around
- the getters return a copy of the string
- the setters don't really notify all the involved properties
The GtkWidgetAccessible uses the (escaped) tooltip text as a source for
the accessible object description, which means it has to store the
tooltip inside the object qdata, and update its copy at construction and
property notification time.
We can simplify this whole circus by making the tooltip properties (text
and markup) more idiomatic:
- notify all side-effect properties
- return a constant string from the getter
- if tooltip-text is set:
- store the text as is
- escape the markup and store it separately for the markup getter
- if tooltip-markup is set:
- store the markup as is
- parse the markup and store it separately for the text getter
The part of the testtooltips interactive test that checks that the
getters are doing the right thing is now part of the gtk testsuite, so
we ensure we don't regress in behaviour.
We require a C compiler supporting C99 now. The main purpose of
these fallbacks was for MSVC. From what I can see this is now all supported
by MSVC 2015+ anyway.
The only other change this includes is to replace isnanf() with the
(type infering) C99 isnan() macro, because MSVC doesn't provide isnanf().
After the :can-focus change in the previous commit, widgets
need to set suitable focus and grab_focus implementations
to implement the desired focus behavior.
This commit does that for all widgets.
The accessible gets properties of the entry, and
resetting the entry icons triggers accessible change
notification, so do that before we dismantle the entry
too far to respond to a g_object_get () call.
Remove arguments from the constructor.
For actions, we now default to COPY, which is the most common one
that we should enable by default (MOVE requires handling deletion
on the the source side, and ASK only makes sense if we have
multiple actions).
For the content provider, we add a new ::prepare signal where
it should be provided just-in-time.
This was previously removed because it changes the minimum and natural
size of the entry when the icons are shown/hidden at runtime. Just not
measuring them does not work however, so reintroduce this.
