What OS are you operating in? I have tried this in Win7 wish 8.5 & 8.4
with the same results and in Linux wish8.5 with 0 always be loaded by
default. If i use set ton(dly) "INF" after I create the spinbox then the
spinbox changes to INF, but having the variable set before the spinbox is
created sets ton(dly) to 0.

Ahh.

Linux. tcl/tk 8.5a3, but IMHO this should be a platform independent hitch.

I seem to remember a change in how linking up a variable was effecting
the displayed value, This may even have been a tipped thing.

someone else may have more information?


append to the example script

update
after 2000 set ton(dly) "INF"

see what happens when you run it.

MacOS with Apple's 64 bit 8.5.7 displays 0 if the value is set before (at
least until you resize the window).

Sounds like you need to make a bug report.
