Hi All:

Wondering if anyone has seen this? The scrollframe.rb sample file  
exits on windows when I use the horizontal scrollbar, though seems to  
work fine on X.

I’ve tried it with

Windows native 1.8.4  
Cygwin ruby 1.8.4

It seems to work fine for

Red Hat Enterprise 64 bit, 1.8.5  
IRIX 1.8.2

Both displaying fine on cygwin XFree server.

I can’t seem to catch any kind of exception, it just dissappears,  
ending the ruby program when the horizontal scrollbar is moved.

Thanks

Forrest

Hmmm…  
One-Click-Ruby 1.8.4-16 + ActiveTcl8.4.12.0 doesn’t cause such SEGV.  
Ruby + Tcl/Tk8.4.7 on Cygwin-X causes the SEGV.  
The backtrace shows that the SEGV occurs in “tk84.dll”.  
Could you tell me your Tcl/Tk’s version?
