First off, which platform? Is this still Mac OS X 10.6? If so, 10.6 has a built-in custom version of Tcl/Tk 8.5.7 that uses Cocoa for the back end rather than Carbon. Tcl/Tk 8.6 will only use this Cocoa backend, but will work on Mac OS X 10.5. It would be good to flush out these bugs and report them to the tcl-mac list so that they can get fixed.<br>
<br>
One thing to try is using one of the nightly builds, which include Tcl/Tk 8.5.7/Carbon. I think they should work on 10.6:<br>

Hi List, Hans,<br>
<br>
I've been using the pd-gui-rewrite-0.43 svn for a couple days now and here are some notes I've taken when finding various bugs (is the better sent to the pd-dev list?):<br>

Its not implemented yet... I was hoping to make "About Pd" a pd patch.<div class="im"><br>

I have some time on my hands now that I finished my Master's, and frankly I think the pd-vanilla GUI is unpleasant, so I could learn tcl/tk and help out, if needed.<br>

That would be great! Your reports have already been helpful. I'm going to be in pretty deep this month till its finished and merged into Miller's 0.43 version. He's been relatively scarse on the lists, but we've been working thru this stuff off-list.<br>
