Hello,

In a program I'm reading data from a file and then - since Tk GUI data fields are too narrow - I'm adding missing data as balloons.

This is a modul where I push a "\n" behind periods and commas in order to make balloons less wide.

$requirement=~s/. /.\\n/g;
$requirement=~s/, /,\\n/g;

push(@CHECKLIST,{
    ...
    _4_requirement=>$requirement
});

This is a part where I define Tk frames, an entry and a balloon:

my $article00_Tk=$L00_Tk->Frame()->pack(-side=>'left',-padx=>1,-pady=>
+0);
my $article00_L=$article00_Tk->Entry(-relief=>'ridge',-borderwidth=>2,
+-text=>$CHECKLIST[0]->{_1_article},-font=>'Arial 8',-width=>15,-state
+=>'disabled')->pack();

my $article00_L_Balloon=$article00_L->Balloon();
$article00_L_Balloon->attach($article00_L,-balloonposition=>'widget',-
+msg=>$CHECKLIST[0]->{_4_requirement});

my $article00_Tk=$L00_Tk->Frame()->pack(-side=>'left',-padx=>1,-pady=>
+0);
my $article00_L=$article00_Tk->Entry(-relief=>'ridge',-borderwidth=>2,
+-text=>$CHECKLIST[0]->{_1_article},-font=>'Arial 8',-width=>15,-state
+=>'disabled')->pack();

my $article00_L_Balloon=$article00_L->Balloon();

If the same text is inserted manually (copy / paste) the inserted \n causes line break correctly, but if it's taken from an array the balloon is shown as a single line where \n is shown as a part of string.

a)    $article00_L_Balloon->attach($article00_L,-balloonposition=>'wid
+get',-msg=>" text ....");
b)    $article00_L_Balloon->attach($article00_L,-balloonposition=>'wid
+get',-msg=>$CHECKLIST[0]->{_4_requirement});

Do you have any idea what am I missing?

Thanks for help.
