Re: [Pmw-general] redraw problem with Notebook within Notebook on Mac OS X

[Greg M. <gr...@in...>]

Andrew, 

I think the problem may be with the Mac implementation of Tcl.  I
suspect this because Pmw is just a wrapper around pure Tcl.  Just for
fun, I have translated your code into Tcl.  So could you run this on
your Mac and see if we can rule out Pmw and python as the culprits.

Run the enclosed program like this (assuming you have the Tcl
interpreter "wish" installed on your machine):

    wish test.tcl

If the same problem occurs, then you should take it up with the Tcl
people.
