I notice a difference between 2.1.6 and 2.2.0 on SUN4 in what is returned
from a listbox:

2.1.6:
STk> (listbox ".l")
.l
STk> (pack ".l")
()
STk> (.l 'insert 0 '(a b c))
()
STk> (describe (.l 'get 0))
(a b c) is a list.
#[undefined]



2.2.0:
STk> (listbox ".l")
.l
STk> (pack ".l")
()
STk> (.l 'insert 0 '(a b c))
()
STk> (describe (.l 'get 0))
"(a b c)" is a string of length 7.
#[undefined]

Does anyone know why this change was made? Is there a way to extract the
data that was originally inserted?

Thanks,

Sarah Officer
