close preferences bug

[sander]

When I close the preferences dialog, I always get the warning dialog with the text "The preferences have been changed. Do you want to cancel anyway?". This is also true when I did not changed any setting!!

You need to put a trace into lib/Preferences.tcl like this:
proc ::Preferences::HasChanged {} {
    variable changed

    ::CallTrace 0

    set changed 1
}

and then post the output to me which looks like:
Tcl call trace:
 4: ::Preferences::HasChanged ...
 3: ::Sounds::CancelPrefsHook ...
 2: ::hooks::run prefsCancelHook ...
 1: ::Preferences::Cancel ...

Seems to fixed. Is this possible?

I never understood it from the beginning and don't know how it can be
fixed either :-(

I've seen the same on OpenBSD4.5 TCL/TK 8.5.6 Coccinella-0.96.12Src

I added the call trace, here is the output:
Tcl call trace:
        4: ::Preferences::HasChanged ...
        3: ::FilePrefs::CancelPrefsHook ...
        2: ::hooks::run prefsCancelHook ...
        1: ::Preferences::Cancel ...

forget my last comment. It was triggered due to my patch to the FLC file mime type, which was invalid anyways. It showed up only up in conjunction with an old user preferences file.
