Thanks for the confirmation. I assume that the scrollbar problem went away when the calls to tkgrab() and tkgrab.release() were removed. Is that right?

I can reproduce it easily in XP in yesterday's 1.7.1 beta.

I don't know TCL/TK well enough to know what tkgrab does in Windows terms, but the general symptoms look as though events are being missed. When you click on something messages are generated for mouse-down and mouse-up events; it looks as though some mouse-up messages are being lost.

TK gets lost behind the MDI main window, but I haven't seen this yet with SDI. I haven't done a lot of testing, though...
