in thread Tk::tablematrix update leaks memory

Thank you so much for your prompt answer. But seems to me that in my script the things are exactly as you say, ie i reuse the item of the container hash. I already read and tested your example script, and even if reusing the value of the hash ref that contains data the leaks happen anyway. I have tried my script with tcl::ptk instead of tk and after long time the memory seems stable with no leaks. To install tcl::ptk i need to pre-install activetcl and Class::ISA. Could be that tk 8.5 has a different behavior respect tk 8.4? I hope you can give me some ideas .Thank a lot .

    I'm not an expert on TableMatrix, and if you want some advice, if you are experiencing trouble with it, I would dump the widget in favor of one that works for you.

    I would implement something on a Tk::Canvas or Tk::Zinc. The canvas handles thousands of items and changes very well. It's a bit more work, but you get to control every aspect of your widget. I wrote Tk-CanvasDirTree as an educational example to show how easy it is to make your own custm widget.

    The basic list and table widgets in Tk are simple widgets, and you can't expect too much from them.

    I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.
