Tk/JComboBox version 1.14
=========================
CHANGES OVERVIEW: (details below)
Maintenance release to correct memory leak, and minor documentation
problems.
OVERVIEW:
JComboBox is a Combo Box implementation that combines several features of the various Combo Box implementations available for Perl/Tk and attempts to provide a solution that should cover the majority of your Combo Box needs. The implementation tends to skew somewhat towards the Java and Win32 implementation of a Combo Box more than the Motif one.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed suggestions, code, and any other feedback. I'm not always able to incorporate that feedback, but I've always found it to be helpful. I hope this widget continues to be useful.

1.14 Maintenance/Bug Fixes: (No new features)
- Issue: bdz (on clptk) reported a problem when choices
arrayref contained a selected param for one of the
entries (in editable mode). The problem was due to
choices method being called prior to the widget
options being defined in ConfigSpecs within the
Populate method.
- Resolution: Moved choices call to after the
ConfigSpecs definition; tested. Seems fine.
- Issue: Beno�t Vincente reported obscure problem that
indicated problems with JComboBox::Tie. After
investigation, it appears that when the master
JComboBox is destroyed, it is not automatically
removed the tie. This problem is trickier than
it appears, partly because of the implementation
of Tk::JComboBox::Tie and partly because of how
widget destruction is done in Perl/Tk.
- Resolution: Added a few lines to check all
JComboBox listeners, to see if they still existed prior
to sending event notification to each. If a listener
no longer exists, it is removed, and the reference
is undef'd. This appears to fix the case Beno�t
reported (which should rarely occur in any case).
- Minor revisions to JComboBox pod.
