I have a program with many "forms" (Toplevel windows with entry fields). Sometimes when I .deiconify() and .lift() a form that is a child of another form, but that just got buried under other forms it comes up 'not active' (dimmed). I have to click on the title bar (or anywhere in the window) before I can start entering stuff into the entry fields. It doesn't seem to happen all of the time, which I don't understand. Doing a .focus_set() after the .lift() fixes it, but then Tkinter loses track of which entry field the cursor was in when the window got covered up. Is there something else I should be calling after the .deiconify() and .lift() to make sure the window get 'activated' (or what ever that state is)? This is on Linux at this point.
