Re^2: Very strange Scrollbar behavior in Win32 Perl/Tk version 804.027

Excellent answer, and ++graff.

Thank you very much for clearing up that mystery. I was getting quite worried when *both* of my Perl installations were acting so bizarre.

Apparently this is only an artifact of having huge amounts of text in a Text widget, -without- any newlines. After applying your simple one-liner $text =~ s/>/>\n/g;, the Text widget is behaving as it should.

s''(q.S:$/9=(T1';s;(..)(..);$..=substr+crypt($1,$2),2,3;eg;print$..$/

If you change line 86 of your code, to turn off wrapping:`push @opts, -wrap => 'none';`, you also get more normal scrollbar behaviour.
