With R1.2.1 and R1.2.0 (but not 1.1.x) under Win98 I have the following problem with the Tk demos ***IFF the Windows taskbar is set to "autohide" ***: >demo(tkdensity) [or any other Tk demo] Tk interactive window opens. Move mouse into Tk window and the window immediately minimizes onto the Windows taskbar . Move mouse to taskbar and click on Tk icon -- window pops back up. Move mouse into Tk window and window minimizes back onto taskbar. Repeat at infinitum... At this point, changing taskbar setting to not autohide generally allows me to close the Tk window, but (with demo(TkFAQ) I got a string of "expression nested too deep..." error msgs.) If the taskbar is not set to autohide at the start, everything seems OK. FWIW -- tcl83.dll and tk83.dll are both 8.3.2 dated 8/8/00 of sizes 605 kb and 907 kb, respectively, and worked OK under R-1.x. Graphics adapter is a Matrox G200/8 MB with current drivers. Have I missed something?

There are things we know we aren''t doing right in the Tcl interface on Windows, but I can''t see it explain this. I don''t think any of the stuff changed from 1.1.1 to 1.2.0 has any bearing on this.

The "Tk Widget Tour" behaves normally regardless of "autohide" setting, so I don''t think it''s intrinsic to wish. However, this is such a minor problem (note that I called it "weirdness" not "bug"), that it''s probably not worth spending time on. I''ve used autohide mainly to avoid accidently launching some bloated app. I''m always pleased (and frequently surprised) when things work on Windows at all. Both R and Gimp are amazing examples of successful ports. BTW -- does anyone have anything good/bad to say about Windows 2000 Pro (for my next Win/Linux dual-boot machine)?
