Re: [MACTCL] MacOS Scroll Bars

[Will D. <wi...@wj...>]

Kevan,

The problem is that the Mac puts the resize box at the lower
right corner of the window, no matter what you do, and so you
need to allow space for it.  In short, this is a bug in the
Wish Console, not in Tk.  I believe Tile now has a widget you
can grid or pack into the lower right corner so that the geometry
works out right.
