I have had a version of this bug in *almost* every version of Aqua Tcl/Tk. It plays hell with my application. Fortunately there it seems to be solved in Tcl/Tk 8.4.16 (I suggest the ActiveState installer, but there is a bare binary and installing from source also works). If you want to use an older version for some reason, the *only* one I know of that works is 8.4.11. Everything I've tried in between has exhibited the problem of sometimes reporting bad mouse coordinates.. -- Russell _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
