I'm porting an app to Mac OS 10.5.8 (Tcl/TK 8.5.8) and added a menu bar as described in
http://wiki.tcl.tk/12987.

On the "Help" menu a standard Mac OS "Search" entry field appears on top of the menu.
Why doesn't the entry take any input? How can I get rid of it?

On Tk-Carbon, this search field is broken--it has been forever. You
can't get rid of it.

It works on fine on Tk-Cocoa.

I've tested it now with the latest Tcl version 8.6b.2 (info patchlevel reports 8.6b1.1 ?) from
ActiveState. The problem remains. Isn't this version using Tk-Cocoa?

I don't use ActiveTcl so I'm not sure what they're using in their builds.

To check for Cocoa, run [winfo server .] in Wish. If it includes the
string "AppKit," you've got Cocoa. Otherwise it's Carbon.

Depends on what they're building with; it's a compile-time option. FWIW,
when I try with the Tk HEAD built for Cocoa it works for me (the entry
is there, and I can type into it).
