[issue24587] Tkinter stacking versus focus behavior on Windows

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

The issue is the interaction between stacking and focus. I am pretty sure that this is not a Python bug and that this issue should be closed.  I suspect that the behavior is not even a tk bug, but simply how Windows' graphics system work.

In any case, the attached file avoids the stacking issue by temporarily replacing a Button with an Entry in a grid. It works on Windows 2 and 3 (the upload file has 'tkinter' for 3.x) and should work anywhere.  I leave it to you to add grid args to position and anchor the widgets better.  Also, the Entry widgets need to be a bit taller to match the Buttons.
