Re: Zoom Factor

[Benedikt Stefansson]

Hi,

I don't have the solution, but I have noticed that Swarm 1.0.5 (binary) on
Linux and Solaris does not behave the same in this regard, i.e. you can freely
resize the ZoomRaster on Solaris. Since it is a binary version (the gcc 2.7.2
version in both cases) the difference is not w.r.t. to different versions of
Tk/Tcl I think. Just in the behavior of the window manager on the two
platforms? Haven't had time to look into what is going on there...
