It is thus not possible to specify repeat behavior for appointments -- or even exit the program cleanly. NOTE: For all I know, this may be an issue with tcl/Tk 8.5. But ical is where I see the problem(s). >How-To-Repeat: portmaster x11-toolkits/tk85 lang/tcl85 deskutils/ical Then invoke the newly-installed ical. For me, it had the observed behavior both on my laptop (uname output copied above) and on my work desktop. In each case, I noticed the behavior after re-installing all installed ports on the machines in question after migrating from stable/8 to stable/9. Examination of a remaining machine (that is running stable/9, but whose ports have yet to be migrated) shows that ical was installed on it using tcl/Tk 8.4 -- and ical on it works. Given that Clue, I performed: cd /usr/ports/deskutils/ical && \ sudo make TCL_VER=8.4 TK_VER=8.4 install clean and the resulting executable works as expected -- the buttons along the top work. In case it's useful, my /usr/ports working copy is at r305154. >Fix: I don't have a fix, but the above circumvention (sudo make TCL_VER=8.4 TK_VER=8.4 install clean) appears to be effective (and is why I only specified a severity of "non-critical"). >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
