@terry.reedy Apparently, this bug has gone unnoticed for years (to be precise, since https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/b5bfb9f38c786c3330b2d52d93b664588c42283d in 2002), and there are all kinds of weird rumors circulating about whether tkinter is thread-safe or not, and what can be run where ( see e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=tkinter+thread+safe ). Having run into it in my project, I set out to get to the bottom of this ( https://github.com/RedFantom/mtTkinter/issues/5 ) ...and looks like I did.
