[issue21597] Allow turtledemo code pane to get wider.

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

I played around for a couple of hours, but am not sure what I want to do other than catching currently uncaught turtle.Terminator (in another issue). I might want to try my original idea of just using grid, without PanedWindow.

Another idea is to ttk widgets, including PanedWindow, to see if they act the same.
http://www.tkdocs.com/tutorial/complex.html
says "Typically the widgets you're adding to a panedwindow will be frames containing many other widgets.". Than implies that the combination should work. The (partial) example there (including a Python tkinter version) uses two ttk.LabelFrames in a ttk.PanedWindow. Perhaps you can try your minimal example with a ttk Frame.

Through Google I found an example of PanedWindow with two Frames here (line 29):
http://nullege.com/codes/show/src%40r%40o%40robotframework-workbench-0.5%40rwb%40editor%40custom_notebook.py/29/Tkinter.PanedWindow/python
so it is definitely being done. If we cannot get it to work without tearing, I may ask on StackOverflow. So please post your minimal code of empty frames that exhibits the problem.
