Tk Library Source Code

tooltip::tooltip try to process argument starting with "-" as option

Example:

tooltip::tooltip .e "-10.0 .. 10.0"

generate error

unknown option "-10.0 .. 10.0": should be -index, -items or -tag
    while executing
"register .e {-10.0 .. 10.0}"
    (in namespace inscope "::tooltip" script line 1)
    invoked from within
"::namespace inscope ::tooltip {register .e {-10.0 .. 10.0}}"
    ("uplevel" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"uplevel 1 [namespace code "register [list $w] $args"]"
    (procedure "tooltip::tooltip" line 35)
    invoked from within
"tooltip::tooltip .e [msgcat::mc "$minPosition .. $maxPosition"]"
    (procedure "::widget::form1::Snit_constructor" line 115)
    invoked from within

Alse tooltip::tooltip have no "--" parameter, to specify end of options.

I have applied the patch that was provided and written a small test program. This worked as intended.
