This code was here in gtk3 to cater for the completion window being
positioned. That was only to meant once as long as the completion window
was shown.
This doesn't work as well for gtk4, ::size-allocate gets propagated from
the toplevel, so happens much more often for the completion window, this
ends up with the completion position being reset to the first row
frequently.
Do this simply once when popping up the completion, instead.

To build a better world sometimes means having to tear the old one down.
-- Alexander Pierce, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier"
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

Fix various issues that prevented inline completion
and inline selection from working reliably. We were
passing byte counts to gtk_editable_select_region in
one place, but that function expects char counts.
We were listening for GtkEditable::insert-text on
the GtkText widget, but that does not emit those signals,
so listen for GtkEntryBuffer::inserted-text instead.
Finally, we were not clearing the stored completion_prefix
enough, leading to situations where the stored prefix
does not match the text in the entry anymore.
In 99.9% of all cases, these are just NULL, NULL.
So just do away with these arguments, people can
use the setters for the rare cases where they want
the scrolled window to use a different adjustment.
This api has not really been kept up with current
user experiences in popups, and we're better off
just dropping it and letting people do their own
popups if they need custom UI.
Use gtk_widget_prepend_controller to supersede entry keynav
while the popup is open. This fixes selecting completions
with the keyboard - the Enter keypress was ending up
triggering GtkText::activate instead of inserting the
selected completion into the entry.
It is enough to just set the parent (and make the parent
call gtk_native_check_resize in size_allocate).
This commit removes the relative_to argument to the
constructors of GtkPopover and GtkPopoverMenu, and
updates all callers.
Split the focus tracking into a separate
GtkEventControllerFocus, and change the API one more time.
We are back to having ::focus-in and ::focus-out signals.
Update all users.
Instead of relying on gdk's antiquated crossing events,
create a new GtkCrossingData struct that contains the
actual widgets, and a new event controller vfunc that
expects this struct. This also saves us from making sense
of X's crossing modes and details, and makes for a
generally simpler api.
The ::focus-in and ::focus-out signals of GtkEventControllerKey
have been replaced by a single ::focus-change signal that
takes GtkCrossingData as an argument. All callers have
been updated.
This lets us remove a use of GTK_WINDOW_POPUP,
which should eventually be going away.
We need to disable treeview search, since it
creates a toplevel that will disrupt our grabbing
popup, causing it to be dismissed.
We don't need to grab ourselves, since the popover
code does it for us. We don't need to reposition our
window, since the popover takes care of that too.
The previous type was a pointer to a pointer, which seems to be a copy-paste
error from GtkBuildable.custom_tag_start which is an out parameter. It was
always cast in use so this is an API break, but not an ABI one.
Instead, use a popup and gdk_surface_move_to_rect.
I have not tried to reproduce all details of the old
positioning logic, but moving the popup above/below
the entry works as before.
