The workaround is to comment out these lines in the file "/usr/lib/tk8.3/text.tcl", which is part of dev-lang/tk-8.3.3-r2 like so: #if {[string compare $tcl_platform(platform) "windows"]} { #bind Text <Control-v> { # if {!$tk_strictMotif} { # tkTextScrollPages %W 1 # } #} #} If I knew how to use sed I'd write a script to do that. ;) Here's a link to the Tk bug report: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=605277&group_id=12997&atid=112997 karltk@gentoo.org 2002-11-11 10:49:39 0000 Fixed. Available for testing as dev-lang/tk-8.3.3-r3. stephen@theboulets.net 2002-11-14 08:14:24 0000 The fix works for me. You can paste now. Note that this fixes the issue where you can't paste. There is still the Tk bug were pasting over highlighted text won't replace the highlighted text though. Hopefully the next version of Tk solves that one.
