Dear Monks,

I'm trying to build a little app using perl/Tk (perl 5.8.7, Tk 804.027) over Win32. When I add either an Optionmenu or a BrowseEntry to my MW, I get weird results: at startup, the BrowseEntry shows up as a list in the top left corner of the screen. If I click the window title bar, the list goes away, but leaves a little white square behind. If I move my window, another window pops up in that same corner, with the title "TclNotifier" - and I know there's something in the window, but I can't see it because the window is too small, and can't be resized.

With Optionmenu I don't get the list at startup, the main window shows up alright. But if I click on the Optionmenu I get the small TclNotifier window.

I even tried to use the sample code from the CPAN Tk::BrowseEntry page (plus "MainWindow->new()" and "MainLoop"), to eliminate possible interferences from my other widgets, but it still didn't work.

Anyone saw that before? Any suggestions?

Thank you,

VMat
