Thanks Tim. I actually started out using the grid geometry manager,
though, and I switched to pack specifically because I thought maybe the
problem was being caused by the grid manager, and thought maybe the
pack manager would correct things. I'm getting the same problem with
both the pack and grid managers; specifically, that my enclosing frames
seem to move to adjust to the size of widgets placed inside of them,
which distorts the dimensions of all my windows.
Thanks,
Ben

When I specify dimensions of the text boxes, no matter how high or
low, the enclosing frame seems to adjust to fit the new boxes. So,
for instance, if I try inserting a text widget in leftframe with
dimensions 1x1, leftframe shrinks down to 1x1. If I make the text
widget 100x100, leftframe takes that size. What I want, and what
seems like should be happening, is if I have leftframe which is
500X500 pixels, and I create a text box wit effective dimensions of
200X200 (I understand that text widgets use lines as dimensions),
the text box should take up a little less than half of leftframe,
with leftframe remaining 500X500 pixels. Instead, leftframe is
shrinking down to become 200X200, and I can't figure out why. After
a while I tried removing the text boxes and I got the same problem.
I think maybe this code will better illustrate the problem. This
first set of code is the totally stripped down version, and you can
see leftframe in white on the left, and rightframe in blue on the
right.
Check out the tkinter docs (or tk docs, for that matter) for the Grid
geometry manager and how to use it over the pack geometry manager.
HTH,
Tim
