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.

        fileMenu = tk.Menu(self.menubar, name="apple")

        helloLabel = ttk.Label(self, text="Hello")
        helloLabel.pack()
        self.pack()
        self.master.minsize(100, 100)

window = Window()
window.master.title("Hello")
window.master.mainloop()
