Testing help

Hello,

For the past w

or so, I've been trying to fix problems with
Tk-JComboBox. The tricky part is that the problems are not obvious to
me. I've run the test cases on numerous platforms, and the tests seem to
pass. However, there is one tester who is repeatedly seeing failures.

My problem is this: the CPAN feedback loop has not been fast enough or
verbose enough to assist me in correcting the problems, so I'm asking
for as many folks as possible to run the test suite on their machine and
to report the output back to the list, newsgroup, or privately, if you
prefer. In particular, I'm interested in tests run on FreeBSD, Linux
(various distributions), and solaris.

Any feedback will be very welcome. When running the tests, please use
version 1.05 of Tk-JComboBox.

Thanks in advance,

Rob

Looks good.

Thanks. It's a bit scary the different results I've been getting. Aside
from my own tests, that's the first report I have seen where everything
passed.

I suspect that I'm getting false negaatives from the tests on certain
platforms, but I'm not ruling out bugs. The tests that have been failing
rely on eventGenerate calls, and focusNext, focusCurrent each of which
has caused me minor problems in the past. Ah, well -- another exercise
in cross-platform programming.
