Author Workaround for submenus not displaying in 8.4.15?
Russell E. Owen

2007-07-19, 7:13 pm

Under Tcl/Tk 8.4.15 (at least on MacOS X) submenus of menubutton menus
don't display (submenus do work fine from the menu bar). This is tk bug
1731734
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/inde...1731734&group_i
d=12997&atid=112997>

Anyway, this is causing grief for my application and I was wondering if
anyone had found a workaround*?

*other than reverting to an older Tcl/Tk, which I really don't want to
do because this is the first universal binary of Tcl/Tk that reliably
keeps track of mouse position; in fact it's the *only* version of Aqua
Tcl/Tk other than 8.4.11 that does this.

I have not found any solution to this problem other than to deactivate
my use of popup menus (which display the same issue). I've added a
comment to the bug report.
