Many thanks for this hint. I could barely have figured out by myself.

I had a look at the doc for the text widget in Tk8.5 but it says no
word about -strictlimits, be it in 8.5a3 or even in cvs HEAD.

TIP 155 has been implemented and committed in the cvs late october 2003
so it's a rather old story. Therefore I suspect that -strictlimits has
simply been forgotten when updating the text widget .n doc file.
