Re: [MACTCL] Aqua Tk 8.5/8.6 problem on OS X 10.9 Mavericks

[Adrian R. <adr...@gm...>]

I’ve just installed it and Tk-Cocoa is a mess under Mavericks.  Something with the new timer coalescing interacts very badly with the incorrectly-implemented event and drawing loops in Tk-Cocoa.  A quick fix might be to use the new timer APIs to request low jitter.  But one might hope that the bugs themselves might help point out more clearly what is wrong with the current impl.
