Description:

Hi in the latest Tk version 8.5.8 is a bug with creating icons for windows.
[wm iconphoto] i most cases the main problem is that you just see a fallback image but sometimes the whole application will crash. This affects only 64bit systems

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2902814&group_id=12997&atid=112997

So you should consider a downgrade to 8.5.7 for 64bit systems or get the patch for this problem and try to add it to 8.5.8
As it is right now Tk 8.5.8 is useless for me.

Regards

Additional info:
* package version(s)
