[issue5163] tkinter.scrolledtext: new text is hidden after using insert()

David Schultz <ringhome at cox.net> added the comment:

Just an ignorance issue, I supposed.  I didn't realize that it was  
that simple.  Still a novice at all of the methods available.

In that case, the only advantage is in case you don't want to always  
manually set it to the end.  No good reason to change it otherwise.
