I had about 2 min, so just went through and manually copied your changes in.
I didn't have a chance to look at the scrollbar yet.

I also noticed that it doesn't expand width ways correctly unless you press
the down arrow to open the left hand list (and then close it again).

Hello,
yesterday, I did like you, spent some time on this problem and I also
found out that the scrollbar took a lot of space but I didn't think about
unpacking it to see what it gives...
yes, removing it fixes the problem...
I noticed that the "Note" text (right.note.desc) has an expand true, fill
both, it should be expand false, fill x..
I also had some trouble with this, and I am finally able to make it work
perfectly... the problem we had was that the scrollbar would take a
certain space (requests a certain space) and the listbox expands to fill
the gap the scrollbar makes while in fact the scrollbar should take the
same space as the widget it is associated to...
I was able to fix this problem with the current code I have (without
updating from Arieh's fixes... we'll have to merge what we both did) ...
but it works on only ONE condition :
rename scrollbar pixmapscrollbar; rename ::tk::scrollbar scrollbar

try it before and after executing this... you'll see the difference...
when the pixmapscrollbar gets a request to know what size it needs, it
returns an enormous amount of space.. we need to fix that because it makes
the widget incompatible with the normal scrollbar.. Arieh, you have enough
knowledge of pixmapscrollbar to find a fix for it ? Tom, you have time to
look into this ?
I'm sending my notes.tcl file so someone could merge my diffs (without
conflicts).. I will try and do it myself when I have time but I really
doubt I will have any...
in my diff, you'll see I also made all 'bold' font into 'sbolf' which is
ALOT better (see previous mail with screenshot, sboldf is better than
bigfont too) and I made the notes window expand on x/y not only on y like
before and made the border on the right frame of 30 (to avoid the widgets
being too close to the edge now that it fills the whole window)...
