All of the Scrollbars work the first time I manipulate them, but once the Scrollbar on third tab (the last one created by the script) is manipulated, the others become unresponsive to mouse clicks (though the Scrollbars continue to move when the Listboxes are scrolled using the mouse/trackpad. I first found this issue working with Python 3.2.3 (using IDLE), but the same thing happens with Python 3.3. I asked someone to try this on a PC (Windows 7, Python 3.2.3, Tkinter 8.5), but the problem wasn't recreated.

I thought that might mean that the last Scrollbar "persists" when you go back to earlier tabs, but the position of the slider in a frozen Scrollbar isn't necessarily the same as the position the last Scrollbar is left in (that is, after you manipulate the Scrollbar that causes the others to freeze, the frozen sliders are still in the configuration they were left in previously, so we're not just seeing a "ghost" of a scrollbar on another tabs).

This is more of a Python question than a Tcl question; you might want to
