Troubles with Tcl / Tk / Wish after upgrading to Mavericks — at Initial Version

Description

Dear Sirs,

there is an already known problem with tcl/tk on OSX Mavericks.

In my situation, after upgrading to Mavericks from Lion, I couldn't update the Macports any longer, and an application that uses Wish/Tcl/Tk was no longer responding well.

I hereby kindly ask you to include a certain patch into the MacPorts.

Down below, I will quote the answer of a person in a mactcl support group "Tcl-mac@…":

There is a known refresh problem with Cocoa Tk on OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). It

has been fixed in the Tk trunk with a patch. The Tk issue is here:

https://core.tcl.tk/tk/tktview?name=53f7a1b553

You can read an earlier thread about it here:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.tcl.mac/7194

There is a source patch for Tk 8.5 (and should work for Tk 8.6) that can be

extracted from here:

http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/8609f6df9974#l2.5

I will try to use that patch but my experience might not be sufficient for this task. Please integrate the patch into the macports, so that I can use my application again.

Not to mention that I now have to reinstall my complete Macports as well as my Wine apps due to the upgrade which happens to be a bit time-consuming for me.

best regards Philipp Schaefermeier
