Button widget not correctly aligning in grid with sticky = 'nsew' when the button does not have text

[Dak3117]

The button widget seems to not properly apply the sticky attribute when using the grid manager if the text of the button is empty, i.e. text = ''.

    app = ctk.CTk()
    app.geometry(str(1280) + 'x' + str(720) + '+0+0')
    app.rowconfigure(0, weight=1, uniform='u')
    app.columnconfigure(0, weight=1, uniform='u')
    frame = ctk.CTkFrame(master=app, corner_radius=0, fg_color='gray')
    frame.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky='nsew')
    frame.grid_rowconfigure((0, 1, 2, 3, 4), weight = 1, uniform='u')
    frame.columnconfigure((0, 1), weight = 1, uniform='u')
    buttons = []
    for r in range(5):
        btn_array = []
        for c in range(2):
            btn_array.append(ctk.CTkButton(master=frame, text = '', corner_radius=0))
            btn_array[-1].configure(fg_color='white', text_color='black', state='enabled')
            btn_array[-1].grid(row=r, column=c, sticky="nsew", pady=2, padx=4)
        buttons.append(btn_array)
    app.mainloop()

If the button is initialized with text and then the text is set to '' using configure, the sticky property seems to work correctly.

Do like this : CTkButton(master,text=' ') # Put a space between quotes Here's You Fixed Code:

    app = ctk.CTk()
    app.geometry(str(1280) + 'x' + str(720) + '+0+0')
    app.rowconfigure(0, weight=1, uniform='u')
    app.columnconfigure(0, weight=1, uniform='u')
    frame = ctk.CTkFrame(master=app, corner_radius=0, fg_color='gray')
    frame.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky='nsew')
    frame.grid_rowconfigure((0, 1, 2, 3, 4), weight = 1, uniform='u')
    frame.columnconfigure((0, 1), weight = 1, uniform='u')
    buttons = []
    for r in range(5):
        btn_array = []
        for c in range(2):
            btn_array.append(ctk.CTkButton(master=frame, text = ' ', corner_radius=0))
            btn_array[-1].configure(fg_color='white', text_color='black', state='enabled')
            btn_array[-1].grid(row=r, column=c, sticky="nsew", pady=2, padx=4)
        buttons.append(btn_array)
    app.mainloop()

Yes, like I stated, creating the button widget with the text as some value other than '' has the grid management working. I briefly looked at the source code, and it may be that the text widget within the button is not being configured/created if the text is set to ''. If that is intended behavior, then the issue can be closed, but I feel like text values of '' has distinct uses compared to ' '.

For those coming across this same issue, this would probably be the work around:

btn = ctk.CTkButton(master=root, text = ' '))
btn.configure(text='')
