Fellow Tclers,

Adding icons to Menus always results in pixels being lopped off the
right of the graphic. But, skimming the mouse pointer over the items
results in a full rendering of the icons!

Whats wrong? How can I solve this?

I'm using Win2K and Tk8.4.

The problem is that windows gets the origin of the menu wrong in one way
when drawing a menu with effects turned on. I can't remember if this is
fixed in 8.5 (and if so, whether a backport is practical).

Unfortunately not fixed. The only known workaround is to turn off
dynamic menus on Windows (an OS setting hidden in some control panel
somewhere).
