Further, I've come up with simple Drop event code that I think /might/ work, but I cannot verify it because setting 
TextArea.Line crashes the program when using gb.gtk3. I can't test the algorithm with Qt either because no drag or drop events 
fire. With gb.qt5 it just, simply, works.

Note: This code requires the use of a monospace font for the TextArea.
[code]
Public Sub TextArea1_Drop()

   TextArea1.Line = Min(TextArea1.Line, Int((Mouse.ScreenY - TextArea1.ScreenY) / TextArea1.Font.Height))
   TextArea1.Column = Min(TextArea1.Column, Int((Mouse.ScreenX - TextArea1.ScreenX) / TextArea1.Font.TextWidth(" ")))

   TextArea1.Insert(Drag.Data)

End
[/code]
