Oh, I remember reporting this bug report to you on one of the early VMD 1.9.1 builds, I think.

I am using Lion's system Tk, which is Tk 8.5, and FLTK 1.3.0. I am building everything with a 32-bit compiler just to make sure I avoid the issue you encountered with 64-bit FLTK/Tk interaction.

Thanks,
FX
