My feeling (I didn't inspected internals for this) is that selection is
wrongfully unseen at first because that was overlooked by author of
perl/Tk module, but then widget restores to its normal behavior.

I think you should "simulate" switching forth and back to
enabled/disabled before actual work.

Such tricks, when do not work with suggested "update", they usually work
with "afterIdle" call.
