    Patches for both the bugs are included in the reports, but you are probably right :-)

      Thanks for the advice

      Sure there is no other way around it?

      I was trying to avoid using FileDialog because its looks less clean as getOpenFile

      But if it is the only option...

      Thanks

        Yes. I've seen the documentation for getOpenFile/Tk::FBox, all that is left is sourcediving, and sourcediving is zero fun

        If you're not on windows, if your platform uses Tk::FBox, then sourcediving might be fruitful for you -- in any case I refuse to do that :) I hate Tk that much
