#41654 — tkinter: invisible PanedWindow "sashes" on OS X

Hi Python List,

I'm trying to use PanedWindow on OS X (10.8.3).  I've started with the
effbot docs example (http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/panedwindow.htm),
namely:

----------
from Tkinter import *

m = PanedWindow(orient=VERTICAL)
m.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=1)

top = Label(m, text="top pane")
m.add(top)

bottom = Label(m, text="bottom pane")
m.add(bottom)

mainloop()
----------

I can see two panes alright, but no handle to resize them (or 'sash'
as they seem to be called in tkinter).  Is there something else that I
should be doing?

TIA,

--

This is, unfortunately, the platform standard on both OSX and Windows7. 
You can still resize the windows: Just grab the space between the two 
labels. There should be at least a cursor change.

With you example it doesn't work particularly well, because the labels 
are small and have no visible border. Try using e.g. a text widget 
instead (or maybe relief=SUNKEN)

I cannot effect a cursor change with the example above.

If I use text widgets for the top and bottom panes, then I can get a
resize cursor and I am able to drag the 'sash' up and down.  That's
good enough for me to get started.  Thanks for the suggestion,
