Tk event_generate broken?

[Phlip]

Rubies:

I suspect this Ruby version has a broken event_generate.

ruby 1.8.2 (2004-07-29) [i386-mswin32]

(Feel free to suggest the problem is between the keyboard and chair...)

Below my signature is a mail I posted many moons ago, which I claimed
worked.

I will go back to an old version and see if the problem persists.

require "tk"


def main

top = TkRoot.new
canvas = TkCanvas.new (top)
canvas.grid('row'=>0, 'column'=>0, 'sticky'=>'ew')
canvas.configure('width' => 200, 'height' => 500)

shape = [30, 30, 30, 60, 60, 30 ]

poly1 = TkcPolygon.new(canvas, shape) {
fill 'green'
}

poly1.bind ('Button-1') {
puts 'yo'
poly1.configure('fill' => 'red')
Tk.event_generate(poly1, 'Button-1') # <-- yo
}
Tk.update
Tk.event_generate(poly1, 'Button-1')
Tk.update
Tk.mainloop

end

Unfortunately, if you want to generate events for canvas items,
you must give the coordinate information of the event.
(e.g. Tk.event_generate(poly1, 'Button-1', :x=>36, :y=>36) )
When the target of Tk.event_generate method is a canvas item,
the generated event is sent to the canvas widget which includes
the target item, because Tcl/Tk's event command can't send events
to canvas items directly. It depends on the coordinate of the event
whether the canvas calls the callback procedure of the target item
or not.
