GTK Glade: Hierarchy Editor - gtk

Question

I'm using Glade 3.20. I've created a liststore and a listview. The liststore has three columns; a gint, a gchararray and another gint.
I right-click on my TreeView object and select Edit.... The 'General' tab shows the columns I've defined in the liststore. I select the 'Hierarchy' tab and click the '+' button. This creates a new view column called column. I right click on that and select 'Add child text'. Nothing happens.
Is this a known problem with glade 3.20? Am I doing something daft?

Answer 1

Yes, unfortunately its a bug. I think it was introduced around Glade 3.19.0. Copy pasting a cell renderer from an older glade file will work though or if added manually by editing the xml file:
Example cell renderer pixbuf :
<object class="GtkTreeViewColumn" id="treeviewcolumn1">
<property name="title">column</property>
<child>
<object class="GtkCellRendererPixbuf" id="cellrendererpixbuf1">
<property name="visible">False</property>
<property name="stock_size">3</property>
</object>
<attributes>
<attribute name="icon-name">0</attribute>
</attributes>
</child>
</object>
I've just prepared a simple glade file containing all the default cell renderers that you can copy paste, inside glade, to your glade file. Just go to the widget hierarchy, copy the renderer, go to your widget hierarchy and under the TreeViewColumn, paste the copied renderer.
cell_renderers.glade:

This may be solved in upcoming glade versions, though.
