[Pythonmac-SIG] Tkinter questions

[Peter Sommerfeld]

A wild guess (don't have TK installed)

That looks like similar problems I had when running
another event loop under the IDE, How about storing
and restoring the menubar ?

# store
oldBar = Menu.GetMenuBar()

# run TK

# restore
Menu.ClearMenuBar()
Menu.SetMenuBar(oldBar)
Menu.DrawMenuBar()
