[New-bugs-announce] [issue42977] Tkinter Optionmenu Too Narrow on Mac

[DDavid]

New submission from DDavid <zjdavid.2003 at gmail.com>:

Hello,

I am building a program with Tkinter. However, I found the Optionmenu widget has inconsistent behaviors on default lengths on a Mac and a Windows PC. 

So I set the width of an optionmenu through menu.configure(width=70). On Windows, this correctly sets the menu width to 70 when the program runs. However, on a Mac, the menu is still very narrow at the start. It only expands to 70 after I select an option. 

I have attached a screenshot to help explain the issue. It does not occur on Windows.
