- in any StyledText hold down mouse button 1
  -> press alphanumeric keys and note that they appear fine
  -> press other keys like the arrows and note that they have no effect

This may seem like a strange case, but there is an app encountering it, see http://code.google.com/p/cellwriter/issues/detail?id=27&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20For%20Priority%20Owner%20Summary .  I don't know what the "correct" behaviour is (in gedit all keys work while mouse button 1 is pressed, while in Notepad none of them work).  But since the alphanumeric keys work in StyledText, it seems like the other keys could be made to work as well.

This is not reproducible with GTK3.22 on Fedora 25. Closing this as WORKSFORME.
