Fluxbox vs DateEntry

[dmalves]

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• ttkbootstrap: 1.9.0

• Linux: Linux mx 5.10.0-18-amd64 1 SMP Debian 5.10.140-1 (2022-09-02) x86_64 GNU/Linux

• Linux Distro: MXLinux 21.2 (FluxBox)

• Fluxbox: fluxbox/mx,now 1.3.7-1~antix1 amd64

• Python: 3.9.4, 3.9.14, 3.10.4 and 3.10.7. (I use pyenv to switch versions)

Describe the bug

On FLUXBOX (MX Linux/Fluxbox), when you press DataEntry button, the data entry window does not show. But, if you press ALT-TAB making main app window go away and back, the data entry window appear properly.

I switched back to XFCE and everything works just fine. FluxBox desktop environment is a bit odd compared to the mainstream desktop environments. It is really fast, but some software, like "sqlitebrowser" for example, have problem with their windows sizes.

Maybe it is just a problem with fluxbox, or this fluxbox specific version. But I would like to know if you guys have problems with DataEntry in your desktop enviromment.

To Reproduce

Click on DataEntry button. Window does not appear.

Expected behavior

DataEntry window should appear when DataEntry button is clicked.

This problem happened on my Plasma desktop too.

My guess is it is something related to some FOCUS event. What ALT-TAB does is switch focus, so maybe it is related to toplevel focus.

I get a similar issue on Chromebook (Linux). When I manage to get the dialog up, the frame seems squeezed so the dates are missing a few pixels each on the right side

Furthermore, when flipping to a long month name (e.g. September) the button for next month (>>) disappears outside the frame and I can't continue to October.

The problem also happens on Linux mint Mate, python 3.10 and ttk 1.10. Has anyone found a workaround to resolve the issue?
