Below is an example. If I do $ python3 hello.pyw and then type Alt+F, the File menu does _not_ pop up. If I then type Alt+F a second (or subsequent) time it does. It seems that Tkinter is ignoring the *very first keypress*. If I press any key (e.g., Space, or x) and _then_ Alt+F, the File menu pops up as it should. ############################################################ import tkinter as tk import tkinter.ttk as ttk class Window(ttk.Frame): def __init__(self, master=None): super().__init__(master) self.menubar = tk.Menu(self.master) self.master.config(menu=self.menubar) fileMenu = tk.Menu(self.menubar, name="apple") fileMenu.add_command(label="Quit", underline=0, command=self.master.destroy) self.menubar.add_cascade(label="File", underline=0, menu=fileMenu) helloLabel = ttk.Label(self, text="Hello") helloLabel.pack() self.pack() self.master.minsize(100, 100) window = Window() window.master.title("Hello") window.master.mainloop() ############################################################ Thanks! -- Mark Summerfield, Qtrac Ltd, www.qtrac.eu C++, Python, Qt, PyQt - training and consultancy "Programming in Go" - ISBN 0321774639 http://www.qtrac.eu/gobook.html _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list Tkinter-discuss@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss
