Thanks for the reply again. I've almost made it work. My problem now is that the y-coordinate returned gets interpreted by nearest() in a way that I don't expect: nearest() seems to expect a y-coordinate relative to the top of the listbox widget, but the y-coordinate given is actually the absolute, screen, coordinate.

Here's my code snippet:

$list->g_bind("<Motion>", [sub {
    my($x,$y) = @_;
    my @sel_list = $list->curselection();
    my $on_target = 0;
    my $current_index = $list->nearest($y);
    print "y = " . $y . "current_index = " . $current_index . "\n"; # 
+test
    if (length($sel_list[0]) > 0) {
        my @sel_list_items = split(/ /,$sel_list[0]);
        if (scalar(@sel_list_items) > 1) {
            foreach my $sel_list_item (@sel_list_items) {
                print "sel_list_item = " . $sel_list_item . "\n"; # te
+st
                if ($sel_list_item eq $current_index) {
                    $on_target = 1;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    print "on_target = " . $on_target . "\n"; # test
    if ($on_target == 1) {
        $listmenu->g_tk___popup($x,$y)
    }
}, Tkx::Ev("%X", "%Y")]);

I can see that the current_index is always larger than I would expect it to be. Apologies if I am missing something simple!
