           Summary: Cannot manage big listboxes with perl-Tk.
           Product: Fedora Core
           Version: devel
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium
          Priority: medium
         Component: perl
        AssignedTo: rnorwood at redhat.com
        ReportedBy: pierre.lacaze at neuf.fr

Description of problem:
Try to execute a little perl program (in attachment), creating a listbox of 200
entries, then try to select at the same time these entries. It fails.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 7 test 2

How reproducible:
perl bugperl.pl


Actual results:
A new listbox windows is displayed, but it disappears immediately, and the
following error is displayed:

selection conversion left too many bytes unconverted
Abandon


Expected results:
Under windows (ActiveState Perl, + TK804 library), there is no error, and the
listbox window is displayed properly. 


Additional info: see attachment. If you replace the 200 in the loop by 30, it
works well. 
If you comment the 
$lbox->selectionSet(0,'end');
line, it works well too.
