[Tkinter-discuss] Is there a way to scroll Tkinter.Text widget by pixel instead of see() (which scrolls by line)?

I cannot reproduce this behavior here, could you please post a minimal
code example that shows the problem?

Hmm, I think text.see('insert') should do the trick, maybe you would have
to add update_idletasks() for it to take effect, however if you process
every key press it is probably no good idea to call update_idletasks()
every time...

Probably, if we could see a code example it might help to track down the
cause for the problem.
