Well it seem there is a problem with gtk for that.

The code below work well. It seem that the code in table view interact
after the activate event on the editor. So the workaround
is to do the selection after the event. That is what my code do



' Gambas class file

Private hEditor As TextBox
Private obs As Observer
Public Sub Form_Open()

  TableView1.Columns.Count = 3
  TableView1.Rows.Count = 4
  TableView1[0, 0].Text = "lhddhdlhddkhdkhe"
  TableView1[0, 1].Text = "kljkljhdljdhdljh"
End

Public Sub TableView1_Activate()
  'Dim hEditor As TextBox
  TableView1.Edit
  hEditor = TableView1.Editor
  obs = New Observer(hEditor, True) As "OBS"


End

Public Sub OBS_GotFocus()

  hEditor.Select(0, Len(hEditor.Text))

End
