text tag binding and whole widget binding

[Luc Moulinier]

Hello !

I need some explainations about using simultaneously text tag binding
and whole widget bindings. See the script below :

proc gTag {w p} {
lassign [split [$w index $p] .] y x
$w tag add Mrk $y.$x $y.[expr {$x+1}]
puts "[$w index $p]"
}

pack [text .t -width 10 -height 10]
.t insert end [string repeat "012345679\n" 10]
.t tag configure toto -background green
.t tag add toto 2.4 2.8 4.4 4.8 6.4 6.8
.t tag bind toto <Control-1> {
puts "tag bind"
break
}
.t tag configure Mrk -foreground white -background blue
bind .t <1> {gTag %W @%x,%y}

According to the man pages, the text tag bindings are executed first,
and then the whole widget bindings. Executing the above script, if I
click on a green character, the two bindings fire, although a break is
pressent in the tag binding configuration.

What am I missing here ?

Thanks for your help !

The "break" and "continue" only effect other bindings on the same "bindtags"
list -- what text and canvas do is effectively introduce a new "bindtags"
list for the items on the. Thus a break on a binding on an item does not
stop the widget binding from firing.
