TCL/Tk weirdness with R-1.2.x under Win98
The "Tk Widget Tour" behaves normally regardless of "autohide" setting, so I don't think it's intrinsic to wish. However, this is such a minor problem (note that I called it "weirdness" not "bug"), that it's probably not worth spending time on. I've used autohide mainly to avoid accidently launching some bloated app. I'm always pleased (and frequently surprised) when things work on Windows at all. Both R and Gimp are amazing examples of successful ports. BTW -- does anyone have anything good/bad to say about Windows 2000 Pro (for my next Win/Linux dual-boot machine)? Best regards, Peter Denisevich

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... <snip>
Have I missed something?
Mnnnohhh... Haven't heard about *that* effect before. There are things we know we aren't doing right in the Tcl interface on Windows, but I can't see it explain this. I don't think any of the stuff changed from 1.1.1 to 1.2.0 has any bearing on this. I assume the wish shell is not doing the same thing? -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
