Package: tk2
Version: 1.1-3
Severity: minor
File: /usr/share/tk2/gui2.tcl
This is a bug in the GUI that does not require owning a radio to test.
This bug persists despite apparent signs of relaxation of former
strictness at comments
# Prevent user from shrinking or expanding window.
in the code.
The bug is: for the two window parts (labeled in the code with:)
label $f.lab -text "Memory Channels" -borderwidth 3
label $f.lab -text "\nLimit Search Banks" -borderwidth 3
the user will never be able to see more than nine items at once,
forcing scrolling to see the rest of the 24 PROG or 50 memory
channels, no matter how large the user makes their outer containing
windows. This is frustrating, like a house with 5 foot high ceilings.
Also for this window (made in the code with:)
wm title $Cht "tk2 Memory Channels"
one can only see 30 items at once, no matter how large one resizes.
It seems the inner window sizes are frozen from what they were when
the program starts.
Windows are placed at various positions at the screen at startup,
and their inner windows assume that's how big their outer windows will
be forever.
