Summary: Aqua preview 8.4.15  menubutton cascade menus don't display

Initial Comment:
In the 8.4.15 Aqua preview from DAS, cascade menus on menubuttons don't display on mouseover. You can't get to the cascaded menus.

They do work fine on menus in the menubar, only problems are on menus attached to menubuttons.

  set divided_typelist [list A [list 1 2 3 4] B [list 5 6 7 8]] 

  foreach {header types} $divided_typelist {

    .type.menu add cascade -label $header -menu [menu .type.menu.[string tolower $header]]

    foreach type $types {

      .type.menu.[string tolower $header] add radiobutton -label $type -variable temp_info(type) -value $type -command ""

CVS head isn't really appropriate for production use, for obvious reasons;
it's not a stable/tested release. Also, are we really supposed to search
unofficial channels such as the tcl-mac mailing list for bug reports and
resolutions? If so, what's the purpose of the SF tracker? I find it hard to
believe we are being criticized for using the official, recommended channel
for bug reports. The individual originally reporting this bug on tcl-mac
should have been directed to post a bug report at SF.

I can confirm that it is fixed in the ActiveState 8.4.15 build. I guess
they apply patches that are not present in the 8.4.15 official release; a
welcome relief in this case!

I see your point about testing the trunk. But I think it is useful to have
bugs reported -- especially in official releases. That provides a record.
(It may also raise the bar too high to expect users to build their own
tcl/tk every time they want to report a bug in an official release. Though
if a user is bold enough to be using a prerelease then that is different.)

bug already fixed on 2007-06-02 by the following commit:

	* macosx/tkMacOSXMenu.c (TkpPostMenu): ensure cascade menus display in
	posted menus that are not part of the menubar or attached to a
	menubutton (fixes bug reported on tcl-mac by Linus Nyberg).

it would be helpful if users could test presence of bugs on the latest
sources from CVS before reporting/confirming them...

Popup menus also display this problem.

This is also true for 8.4.15 release. Here is another example:
menubutton .mb -text Menubutton -menu .mb.menu
pack .mb
menu .mb.menu -tearoff 0
.mb.menu add command -label MainDoIt -command {puts "MainDoIt"}
.mb.menu add cascade -label Sub -menu .mb.menu.sub1
menu .mb.menu.sub1 -tearoff 0
.mb.menu.sub1 add command -label SubDoIt -command {puts "SubDoIt"}

this works fine with older versions of tcl/tk (on unix and MacOS X) but
not with Aqua Tcl/Tk 8.4.15. I have only run 8.4.15 on MacOS X so I have no
idea if this problem also affects unix.
