I built Tcl/Tk core_8_5_branch from the 2015-04-28 commit (in the git
mirror) on OS X 10.9 with MACOS_X_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6. Visually the
results are not as nice as code using the 2015-03-24 commit. It seems
that many widgets, including labels and texts, take up far more room
than they used to, with the extra room used for unnecessary whitespace.
The results is far more different from Unix than it used to be.
One improvement is that button text is now displayed with some padding,
making them much more readable, and more like unix (in a good way, since
it is easier to write cross-platform code; I had been adding padding on
OS X). But it seems that too many other controls got the same treatment,
even if they didn't need it.
Also, both versions of Tcl/Tk have a bug whereby windows are often
impossible to close. Clicking the close control and typing cmd-W both do
nothing. Fortunately they can still be minimized, but it's disturbing
not to be able to close them. Unfortunately this is intermittent, though
common, making it hard to present a small example. Has anyone else seen
this?
