Paned Window Widget Resize/ Refresh Trouble

[Mridula Ramesh]

Hi.

I am trying to show data using the paned window widget, and am encountering
this problem: whenever the vertical/horizontal resizing bars are moved, the
widgets and data on the panels are thrown out of alignment and sometimes
totally disappear. They only reappear when you sort of drag the panes across
in a trial-and-error manner. Also, when i update the labels to reflect a
current recordset, some of the labels disappear. Can someone please explain
what I am doing wrong?

I don't know if this will help, but this is what the problematic code looks
like:

def showtagcloud(self):
        rts = Tk()
        rts.title("Similarly Tagged Files")
        rts.geometry("900x600")

        pane1 = PanedWindow(rts)
        pane1.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=1)
        #LEFT PANE
        left = Label(pane1, width=30)
        pane1.add(left)
        pane2 = PanedWindow(pane1, orient=VERTICAL)
        pane1.add(pane2)
        #TOP PANE
        top = Label(pane2, height=210, width=45)
        pane2.add(top)
        #BOTTOM PANE
        bottom = Label(pane2, height=5)
        pane2.add(bottom)
        pane1.paneconfig(left,minsize=400)
        pane2.paneconfig(top,minsize=450)

        LbForm = Label(left, text="File titles", justify=LEFT)
        LbForm.pack(anchor=N, padx=5, pady=20)

        LbDet = Label(top, text="File details", justify=LEFT)
        LbDet.pack(anchor=N, padx=5, pady=20)

        self.LbID = Label(top)
        self.LbID.pack(padx=10, pady=3, anchor=NW)
        self.LbTID = Label(top)
        self.LbTID.pack(padx=15, pady=5, anchor=NW)
        self.LbTitl = Label(top)
        self.LbTitl.pack(padx=10, pady=3, anchor=NW)
        self.LbTitle = Label(top)
        self.LbTitle.pack(padx=15, pady=5, anchor=NW)
        self.LbAu = Label(top)
        self.LbAu.pack(padx=10, pady=3, anchor=NW)
        self.LbAuth = Label(top)
        self.LbAuth.pack(padx=15, pady=5, anchor=NW)

        self.LbLoc.pack(padx=10, pady=3, anchor=NW)
        self.LbPathway = Label(top)
        self.LbPathway.pack(padx=15, pady=5, anchor=NW)
        self.LbAbs = Label(top)
        self.LbAbs.pack(padx=10, pady=3, anchor=NW)
        self.LbAbst = Label(top)
        self.LbAbst.pack(padx=15, pady=5, anchor=NW)


        LbTc = Label(bottom, text="Other tags for this file:")
        LbTc.pack(anchor=NW, padx=5, pady=20)
        self.LbT1 = Label(bottom)
        self.LbT1.pack(padx=10, pady=5)

        self.LbT5 = Label(bottom)
        self.LbT5.pack(padx=10, pady=5)

        self.LstTag = Listbox(left, selectmode=BROWSE)
        ScrBarV = Scrollbar(left)
        ScrBarH = Scrollbar(left, orient=HORIZONTAL)
        self.LstTag.pack(side=LEFT,fill=Y)
        ScrBarV.pack(side=RIGHT,fill=Y)
        ScrBarV.config(command=self.LstTag.yview)
        self.LstTag.config(width=60, yscrollcommand = ScrBarV.set)
        for xno in range(0, self.gsmax-1):
            self.LstTag.insert(END,str(self.pundoos[xno][1]))
        self.LstTag.bind("<<ListboxSelect>>", self.elaborate)

    def elaborate(self, event):
        temphold = self.LstTag.get(self.LstTag.curselection()[0])
        for xno in range(0, self.gsmax-1):
