Hi all,
moving from Canvas() to Text() I wanted to re-implement the same drag&drop
functionality I have.
I created a small test program show my problem(s).
I am creating two, Toplevel windows with MyText() inside.
The MyText extends the Text and adds a drag&drop.
For demonstration I've binded on the Control-Button-1 the starting of the drag action
it creates a "floating" Label() with the selected text, which is placed at the mouse position.
Now the problems:
1. The selection on the "drag" window keeps changing as I move the mouse.
The selection is changing as if there was a grab_set() even if the cursor is on the second window.
2. If I drag the mouse on the second window, despite the Label is created() it doesn't show it.
How can I correct those problems?
Many thanks in advance
