With R1.2.1 and R1.2.0 (but not 1.1.x) under Win98 I have the following problem with the Tk demos ***IFF the Windows taskbar is set to "autohide" ***:

Tk interactive window opens. Move mouse into Tk window and the window immediately minimizes onto the Windows taskbar . Move mouse to taskbar and click on Tk icon -- window pops back up. Move mouse into Tk window and window minimizes back onto taskbar. Repeat at infinitum... At this point, changing taskbar setting to not autohide generally allows me to close the Tk window, but (with demo(TkFAQ) I got a string of "expression nested too deep..." error msgs.) If the taskbar is not set to autohide at the start, everything seems OK. FWIW -- tcl83.dll and tk83.dll are both 8.3.2 dated 8/8/00 of sizes 605 kb and 907 kb, respectively, and worked OK under R-1.x. Graphics adapter is a Matrox G200/8 MB with current drivers. Have I missed something?
Only not to expect Windows ports (e.g. of Tcl/Tk) to behave sensibly with unusual defaults, I guess.
