Non latin keyboard - wrong characters writed to widget
On WindowsXP in myapp.exe with freewrap61 and
tclkit-win32.upx.exe .

If is used Russian or Czech keyboard wrong characters
are entered to Tk widgets in wrapped .exe application.

(UTF-8 coded strings readed from file or Unicode
strings copied from clipboard are displayed OK)

Problem occurs also if is executed by the way
"freewrap_wish.exe somescript.tcl".

Only if exe(only freewrap61 issue) is executed (in
directory where was

problem no occurs.

Thanks,

Not really enough here to get
started on this.  Not even full
version information is provided.

Could be input methods, could be Tk,
could be encodings, could be freewrap.

"Only if exe(only freewrap61 issue) is executed (in
directory where was
wrapped characters are OK, at other directories and
computers not."

This suggests the functioning of
the application is dependent
on [pwd] in a way that it shouldn't
be, and I'd suspect this is a flaw
in something that freewrap is doing.

Possibly it's freewrap doing something
that worked with an earlier Tcl release,
and hasn't kept up with internal Tcl
changes? 

All really just a guess.  Best way forward,
I think, since freewrap appears to be the
essential component to demo the failure,
would be for a freewrap expert to examine
more carefully, and pass more detailed
bug reports to Tcl and/or Tk as more
specific problems are discovered.

When asking for a freewrap expert for
further help, please give him some actual
demo code to work with, and a full description
of what you do, what you expect, and how
the program fails to meet the expectations.
I'm having to do too much guessing replying
to this report.
