[Tile-dev] Tile dialog box positioning on win32

[Andrew T. <an...@hi...>]

Hi,

I'm using Tile for a project at work, and on the whole it's working out
great. However, I have one issue I'm unable to resolve: the positioning
of dialog boxes on win32. On Linux/FreeBSD/NetBSD/Solaris they seem to
position relatively sanely, but on windows they insist on going to the
upper-left corner of the screen. If I set the dialog's parent to the
empty string to make it non-transient it modifies the position slightly,
it's still at the upper-left but it's indented slightly (about 1 inch)
from the corner of the screen.

I reduced the problem to a short test-case, but I'm not writing tcl/tk
code, I'm using the ruby bindings for tk/tile. Do the dialog boxes
position more correctly using tcl/tk and should I be looking for the
issue in the ruby bindings? I tested with the native tk dialog box and
it worked as expected.

I don't know tcl/tk well enough to write a test-case for this so I can't
check if it's the bindings or not. Can someone give me a sample program
I can test with, or at least confirm this is/isn't a
problem on windows?
