+	Bug 573688 – Don't steal update region in gtk_text_view_paint()
+
+	* gtk/gtktextview.c (gtk_text_view_paint): If additional areas got
+	invalidated, don't try to add them to the paint region: in an expose
+	handler, we cannot paint outside the area that was passed in, since
+	drawing will be clipped. So stealing the update region from the
+	window causes lost draws.
+	Patch by Owen Taylor
