[pygtk] Problem with gtk.TextView in Windows, but not in Linux

[James Simmons]

Dieter,

I tried replacing all my Python and PyGTK files with older versions
and that didn't help.  What's odd is that I CAN split a line into two
lines with the Enter key; I just can't create a blank line.  What I
think is that something I've installed may be interfering with the
TextView.  I'm going to try installing on another computer running
Windows and see if the same thing happens.  Most of my computers at
home are running Linux, so I may end up trying at work.

It is a great help to know that my program seems to work on Windows
for other people, so I thank everyone who tried it.
