I wrote a basic GUI on a windows machine and when i tested it on Mac OS X tiger for some reason some of my button widgets are completely hidden in only some of the windows and reappear when you hit tab. I’ve been trying to debug it, but i’m at a loss, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ---

Thanks for the response but i made a work around by creating two frames per window and putting buttons in one and labels and entry widgets in the other, if you want i can still send you the file that should still have the problem though. ---

Probably, I don’t understand your problem. But, if you have the trouble on some kind of container widgets (panedwindow, tabnotebook, and so on), it may help you to call “Tk.update” or “Tk.update\_idletasks” before packing frames into the container.
