ok, so now I'm at it I installed a few truckloads of KDE, Gnome and mate
packages and with these three the script works as expected, too.

I don't really know what to make of all this. A feeling in my guts
claims that cannot be Tk's fault, but who knows? I think for now I'll
call it a day and think about a bug report tomorrow.
Thanks again for the feedback, and best regards

I ran this in straight Tcl/Tk on buster under fvwm and pressing the mouse
button inside the yellow window only generates "Button-1 event", not the
other two.

No Enter or Leave on in my case -- but when entering or
leaving the window (as it is supposed to work). Tcl/Tk from Debian
stable, i.e. 8.6.0+9). No desktop environment, though -- just Fvwm.

With xev here using Xfce I get the expected behavior, no bogus Enter or Leave events when clicking into the window. Does that point to Tk as the culprit?

Please report the issue as a bug as best as you can - e.g. file it against either of those involved packages (or both, comma-separated).

But why then is this not a widespread problem ? Xfce uses GTK like Gnome does. Originall events are a matter of the X Window system. But this knowledge is meanwhile subject to bit rot. So what do you get from programs like xev ? Without argument it is very verbous about mouse movements. But i can produce ButtonPress/Release events without interlaced FocusIn/Out events: ButtonPress event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x12e1, ... ButtonRelease event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x12e1, ... ButtonPress event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x12e1, ... ButtonRelease event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x12e1, ... One may run instead: xev -event focus which displays only Enter-Leave events. Those happen for me only when i really enter and leave. Mouse buttons do not trigger such events. Have a nice day :) Thomas

I am rather sure that this doesn't have anything to do with
Python/Tkinter, though I actually hadn't checked with wish before. Ok, so
I set up this little tcl script:
#
frame .f -bg yellow -width 400 -height 300
pack .f -fill both -expand 1
bind .f {puts "Button-1 event"}
bind .f {puts "Enter event"}
bind .f {puts "Leave event"}
#
As expected, it's the same as with Tkinter, when the mouse button is
pressed, Enter and Leave events are triggered. So far it has been
reported that this does _not_ happen with MacOs, Gnome, IceWm. It's been
observed so far on Xfce, Lxde and just now Openbox-session (no surprise
probably, since Lxde seems to use Openbox, too).
Other mouse buttons show the same behavior. The same thing happened on
various systems, like Stretch, Sid, Ubuntu 19.04, Ubuntu 18.04.
Since it only seems to happen with Xfce/Xfwm and Openbox/Lxde I think it
is more likely that it is the window manager's fault than that of Tk.

Michael

Strange event handling problem with Xfce/LXDE - which pkg responsible?
Hi, it has been observed that when using Tk on Xfce or LXDE for some reason pressing a mouse button inside a Tk window "phony" and events are being triggered. Since not only one DE is affected, the question arises which package a bug report should be filed against. The issue has been discussed in more detail at: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/tkinter-discuss/2019-May/004082.html and https://mail.python.org/pipermail/tkinter-discuss/2019-May/004091.html Does anyone know if both Xfce and LXDE share some library that might be responsible for that presumably faulty behavior?
