[MACTCL] Text widget issue with 8.5.15

[Trevor W. <pha...@gm...>]

All,

Yesterday, I updated my Tcl/Tk installation from 8.5.8 (carbon-based version apparently) to 8.5.15 (cocoa-based).  Fortunately, my issue with the resizing grip has been resolved (the cocoa version does not use the resize grip that the carbon version uses -- you can resize by pulling from any corner/side of the window).  Unfortunately, it appears that a behavior of the text widget seems to have changed.

In the 8.5.8 version, I can hold down any printable key, and the text widget will begin inserting that same character indefinitely until I release the key.  However, in the 8.5.15 version, holding down any printable key, will only insert a single key.  Interestingly, if I hold the key down, release it and then hit the backspace character, it takes a few backspace keystrokes before the character is actually deleted.  Anyone know why this is occurring and how I can get the old behavior back?

To attempt to reproduce the problem, simply pack a single text widget:

     pack [text .t]

Then insert a character multiple times by holding on the 'b' key (for instance).

My Tcl/Tk installation came from ActiveTcl using the Mac bundle (8.5.15 version).

Thanks for any help/insight that you can provide.

Thanks,
Trevor
