[SVN8981 and previous] Add group bug

[Cypher]

Hi,

everytime I want to add a new group, I have the TK bug window appearing, I click ignore, and the "add window" appears, but there is no way to validate the input, no button, and [ENTER] does not work.

I am using TCL/TK 8.5 on Kubuntu Feisty.

I hope this will be solved soon as it is a major bug, at least if it is not related to version 8.5.

I would just like to add version 8.5 Is not a stable release.. hence I reverted to 8.4 and everything is fine..

[Cypher]

Yeah, I know, but 8.5 is an available package in xUbuntu Gutsy, and I think it is time to care about it as more and more people are gonna start to use it.

So if there is a quick way to fix this, any help would be welcome.

Hi Cypher
Please paste the error, maybe it's not related to tcl/tk8.5 dev
i am using Gutsy dev too, trevigno's tcl/tk8.5 dev, and i don't have that problem.
Thanks, bye

Found the bug... Actually, it comes from that fact that it converts the contacts into windows by using their e-mail address, replacing special characters with _ (underscore). I had two contacts in my list having the same address except that one was using a dot and the other one was using an underscore. So when they got converted into window names, two windows had the same name, causing the bug.

So it does not depend on TCL8.5 and it is a real bug.

oh thx Cypher for finding this design bug.. it's indeed an issue, and it's the first time it's encountered... I'll add it to the TODO!
