#3041 tkUnixKey.c is wrong for me since 8.5.11
Hi,
on OSX, using unix like Tcl/TK .dylib, since 8.5.11 I cannot acces binding unless I hit a key first.
with 8.5.13, if I copy/paste code from 8.5.10 tkUnixKey.c and recompile Tk, everything is fine but I doubt it's a good hack.
here's the link to the discussion on comp.lang.tcl

Best regards,
Nicolas
First, just to confirm, this is seen in the X11 version of Tk on OS X? What OS version are you on? Can you test 8.5.11 on another version of X, such as Linux, to see if it's there?
Can you provide a diff of tkUnixKey.c?
I have very little knowledge of X11 keysyms, and I would think this bug would be evident on other X systems. I may refer this to another maintainer with more Unix expertise than me, depending on the feedback.

Kevin,
so to confirm, this is seen on MacOSX.7.5 with Tk version since 8.5.11 (8.5.10 works fine).
I've compiled 8.5.13 on Ubuntu12.0.4 and test it and it works fine. I'm able to use Ctrl+n (File/New in my program) in the very beginning without the need to hit a key first.
for the diff, I've just picked the 8.5.10 tkUnixKey.c and paste it in the 8.5.13 distro.
best regards,
nicolas
See Bug 1924761 for the change rationale, and I have no idea why you're having problems.

more digging...
in tkUnixKey.c and especially KeySym TkpGetKeySym(), if I remove the TK_USE_INPUT_METHODS ifdef and all enclosed code, it works again with tk8.5.13.
the comment fro the ifdef section is
/*
* If input methods are active, we may already have determined a keysym.
* Return it.
*/
so I guess that Tk do not have a determined keysym
hope this helps...

But then it doesn't work on other platforms, which is the whole reason that code was put in there.

does 8.5.10 distros had problems on others platforms?
because the ifdef where not present in it...
I don't have the correct build setup on my system for an X11 version of Tk, and as this is not a native (Aqua) issue, I'm not the right person to address the bug, or even if there is a bug--dkf appears to think there is not one.
See bug #3599312, which may be the same issue on Unix and has a fix attached.

while investing to correct the bug, I came to the same conclusion as you about the TkpInitKeymapInfo().
your fix works perfectly, thanx !
it's a shame that SF tracker do not notify about comments, you published the fix 1,5 month earlier....
