Summary: Can't get active menu index

Initial Comment:
Tk: v8.5a3
OS: WinXPsp2
Built with makefile.vc using VC7.1


After the change to tkWinMenu.c on 18-01-2005 
the 'active' menu index is no longer returned.

[.menu.foo index active] will now always return none.

this in itself probably isn't fatal, but if a script 
attempts [.menu.foo entrycget active -label] things 
can start going a bit crazy :)

removing the extra condition check on line 1242 fixes 
this, but re-introduces the bug it was put there to 
stop.

TkDiff uses [.menu.foo entrycget active -label] to update 
the status line info for each menu entry. After this 
change that no longer works. Adding a logging entry to 
return the value, shows that the active entry is 
now 'none' rather than the actual active entry.

I also replaced 'active' with a number to check that the 
rest of the code was working, label indexed by number was 
returned, and status line updated correctly.

Removing the extra condition and recompiling, it works as 
expected.

Did you activate a menu entry before using index active?

If none of the menu entries is of active, .menu.foo index 
active will return none.
