Re: [MACTCL] Text Scroll Bar Tk 8.6.10

I did not figure out why my Catalina machine won't compile TclTk. But that's a side-issue in this thread.

On my old laptop, however, I have confirmed that TclTk 8.6.10 compiled with -mmacosx-version-min=10.8 has the text scrolling problems I described: no scroll buttons side or bottom, garbled rendering of text during scrolling. When I compile with -mmacosx-version-min=10.9, 10.12, or 10.13, the scrolling works perfectly, and the scroll buttons appear.

 From mail from Marc Culler:

I shall do the same, supporting 10.9+.
