The issue is definitely the Tk that coms with OSX. I built the latest 8.5.19 into an embedded Wish (aka has the Tcl & Tk frameworks within the app bundle) and used that to create the Pd app. Now pretty much all of the main issues I was seeing before have been resolved.
So it seems like going to Pd-extended route of including tcl & tk within the app bundle is the way to go. I’ll write a script that automates building tcl/tk and we could also think about updating the included Wish tar. This would also make it relatively easy to transition to Tcl/Tk 8.6 now, instead of having to wait for Apple, at the cost of doing a custom build (although it’s fast and easy). The tk docs say if you compile ahead for a system on OSX aka compile on 10.11, it should run fine on earlier systems. That, of course, should be tested. -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <https://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/> > On May 1, 2016, at 10:21 AM, Dan Wilcox <[email protected]> wrote: > > Ok, judging from the following, there seems to be a bug related to > accelrators with Shift not being ignored in the Cocoa tk layer: > https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2011-March/132059.html > <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2011-March/132059.html> > > We’re not crazy.
