I have it on good authority that canvas coordinates in Tcl/Tk are
*not* limited to 16 bits.  The Tcl/Tk core developers acknowledged
that there might be a bug in the code that translates canvas
coordinates to X coordinates (which are 16 bit), and asked me for a
screenshot or repro-case to illustrate the problem.

However, I was unable to get current gitk to exhibit the problem, even
with Thomas Gleixner's enormous history.git repository.  Do you have a
specific example (repository and commit ID) where you see the problem
occur?

Paul.
