I have a master frame with five columns, which I want to stay at same width all the time, regardless of how window is resized. There are three rows, the bottom being buttons.
The problem is when I added a Text widget to the larger Frame 3, it stretches out the column width in colums 2, 3, 4 to wider than columns 0 & 1.
I've tried to deal with this by making sure I set all the column weights equal, but this only helps keep the columns maintain their relative size while resizing the master window. It doesn't force the columns to be the same with when the master is instantiated.
I tried using a self.columnconfigure(c,minsize=100) and this makes the columns look even width when I instantiate the object. But if I resize the window bigger, the three righthand colums expand faster than the left two columns, despite all being assigned the same weight! And if I make the window two narrow, in order to maintain the 'minsize' of width, columns aren't visible on the far right. So this isn't a solution.
