Following is a test code, please run it and your will
see a ScrolledWindow shaking. 

Before you run it, please make sure that "CP: 555  *
AAA-I am shaking wildly 10mm dia:  59.5 mm" is in a
single line. The length of the list item name really
matters.

#### test code ends #################################

#### test environment ################################
If you run it by wish8.3, no problme at all, 
if you run it by wish8.4, you got  a shaking widget.

My testing environment:
      1. Redhat Linux  2.4.21-9.ELsmp
      2. BWidget-1.7.0, tcl 8.4, and tk 8.4
      3. Default font

#### Code analysis ##################################
Bwidget induces an endless loop through a "bind" command.
(In Bwidget-1.7.0),
In line 105 of listbox.tcl:
  bind ListBox <Configure> [list ListBox::_resize  %W]

In proc ListBox::_resize, line 1139 of listbox.tcl:
it call _update_scrollregion :

    } else {
        if {[Widget::cget $path -selectfill]} {
            _update_select_fill $path
        }
        _update_scrollregion $path # this line triggers
an endless loop
    }

In proc ListBox::_update_scrollregion, line 918 of
listbox.tcl
  it call $path.c configure -scrollregion [list 0 0 $w $h] 
  This triggers ListBox <Configure> event and call
_resize again, forming a loop.

If you put in "puts " commands in _resize and
_update_scrollregion
you will see _resize and _update_scrollregion called
alternatively
 
Removing line 1139, "_update_scrollregion $path",
dismantles the shaking.

It does not happen for me on current cvs on linux or windows for tk8.5.7.

This might also be due to an improved locking in the widget.

I close the bug, complain if it is still an issue.

After some analysis, it appears that too many configure and
resize events are being generated, causing Tk's event ring
buffer to overflow.[1]  As an experiment, I ran the provided
test program under differing window managers; the shaking
behavior occurs when differing number of items are added to
the ListBox.  I see no clean way of resolving this problem.

problem in Gnome and Ximian".  My analysis to comp.lang.tcl
