[issue11290] ttk.Combobox['values'] String Conversion to Tcl

[Clayton Darwin]

This is a simple work around.  

def fix_tcl_error(s):

    if '\\' in s and not ' ' in s:
        s = '{'+s+'}'

    return s

You can get the text from the Combobox with no issues.  The error is in posting it to the Combobox when you have backslashes and no spaces (I think).  I have just been running everything through this def before adding it.  It has worked with no problems so far using Windows paths and grep-type search strings.
