I have a problem only on Windows platforms, not unix:
I create a compound menu with an icon and a label. Trouble is:
the icon is badly displayed until visited by the mouse pointer.

Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks!

David.

Simple example:

menu .m -tearoff 0
image create photo img -file {C:\WINDOWS\Web\bullet.gif}
.m add command -compound left -image img -label "foo"
.m post 100 100

I'm unable to reproduce the problem on Windows XP with Tcl/Tk 8.4.9 and
8.5.0a2. The icon looks fine whether the mouse is over it or not. What
versions of Windows and Tcl/Tk are you dealing with?

This is a known issue only when you have the fade or scrolling
effect turned on for menus.

Which is, unfortunately, the default.
