Tk/Tcl upgrade
Hi!
Thanks for the awesome work you do here, Gregory!
I have one ask though. Would it be possible to bump the tk/tcl version provided from 8.6.12 to 8.6.13 (or 8.6.14 which is the latest 8.6.x release)?
Last bump was with the release 20220222
That was bump 8.6.10 -> 8.6.12. 8.6.12 is almost 2-years old already.
Asking as we're experiencing an issue within our GUI app, which was fixed as part 8.6.13 release.
Thanks!
Just to clarify.
The issue we're currently facing with the latest PBS with tk/tcl 8.6.12 is causing the GUI dialog to not receive mouse events (something like 50% clicks or more are not received at all) on Mac. This issue was fixed in 8.6.13:
Mac: Mouse events not delivered to dialog with global grab.

We managed to build python-build-standalone against tk/tcl 8.6.14 which indeed fixed the issue we observed.
We could post a PR for PSB if that helps.
Please let us know what you think.
Greg started in this in #303 and I'm following up in #313 — there's some non-trivial work to do still.
Hi @zanieb!
Is there a chance for this to be fixed in a foreseeable future?
@apawlucz-cisco this is blocked by the Windows failure in the pull request — I don't know how to fix it yet.
I can only answer for myself here.
The tk issue we're experiencing doesn't happen on Windows. So for our project shipping updated tk only for non-Windows would solve the problem indeed.
