  • are there known limits to the number of items in BrowseEntry?

    From Daniel Villeneuve@21:1/5 to All on Tue Sep 15 20:44:08 2015
    Hi,

    I'm prototyping a PerlTk GUI where one of the BrowseEntry widgets holds
    more than 1350 items. However, when browsing the list, I get some
    blank space after about 1000 items, even though the scrollbar seems to
    indicate there should be more items to display.

    Any hint about what's happening?

    Using RHEL7, perl 5.16.3 and perl-tk-804.030.

    Nothing obvious. State OS/Perl version etc.
    Make smallest possible test case that fails and post it (you may find
    the answer whilst doing this exercise). :)
