My testing was inadequate.  From #42867, it appears that 0. the bug is limited 
to Windows; 1. opening a canned dialog or message box is part of getting the 
buggy behavior; 2. timing is involved; 3. the bug can be exhibited on Windows 
directly with wish/tk, so that it is a 3rd party tcl/tk issue and not a tkinter 
issue.  Hence changing the issue resolution.

A workaround mentioned in both the referenced tkinter thread and #42867 is to 
call after_idle() at some point.

resolution: out of date -> third party
title: Entry Widget Not Editable under Windows XP -> Entry Widget Not Editable 
under Windows XP with dialog call.
