svalue(gtext_obj) <- "asdf" drops font attributes

[landroni]

I'm wondering if this is expected behaviour.

w <- gwindow("gtext example", visible=FALSE)
g <- gvbox(cont=w)
t2 <- gtext("monospace", font.attr=list(family="monospace"), container=g)
visible(w) <- TRUE

Now if you do svalue(t2) <- "monospace", you will notice that the widget font is no longer Monospace. I would have expected that the attributes of a gtext() object were not dropped unless specifically requested.

Nope, that is definitely a bug. I thought I had fixed it, but must have dropped the ball.

I can't seem to replicate this. Is this windows thing perhaps?

I double-checked and I can replicate it here (on Linux) :
