Hi Jamie, all.
I believe tigital said this around Thu, 12 Sep 2002:
...also, has anyone noticed any tcl/tk weirdness under 10.2? I'm getting stalls all over the place, for instance opening a patch hangs until you move the cursor...actually, cursor movement seems necessary for any pd interface update...seems I've got TCL/TK 8.4a4, which is the latest I've seen around (with an installer, that is; is there a more current/stable cvs somewhere?)
I've been chasing these issues around for the past couple of days. This weirdness is definitely at the tcl/tk level, and is well-known under 10.2 (Jaguar). There's a discussion on the mactcl list starting here: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/tcl-mac/1345536
There *are* newer versions of Tcl/Tk than what you have. Tcl/Tk has just been brought to 8.4 release, and is available in source form at SourceForge... but people are reporting trouble building Tk (me too). There's a pre-compiled version of 8.4-final included in AlphaTK: ftp://ftp.ucsd.edu/pub/alpha/tcl/alphatk/Alphatk.dmg
...but that version doesn't work around the bug. There is a patch discussed in the thread above, but I haven't verified it yet (cos of compilation problems).
Best regards, adam
