    SF patch #491183 (Jeff Epler): ScrolledText.grid() doesn't work · 6221d2d0
    Guido van Rossum authored
    Using grid methods on ScrolledText widgets does not
    work as expected. It either fails to pack a widget, or
    can even cause Tk to lock up.
    
    The problem is that the .grid method is being called on
    the text widget, not the frame widget. This can lead
    to the well-known lockup in Tk when a frame's children
    are managed by both the pack and grid managers. Even
    if it doesn't lock up, the frame is never placed within
    the intended widget.
    
    Program fragment:
    >>> import ScrolledText
    >>> s = ScrolledText.ScrolledText()
    >>> s.grid(row=0, column=0, rowspan=2)
    
    The following patch uses the same hack to copy the
    'grid' and 'place' geometry manager methods to the
    ScrolledText instance as is already used for the 'pack'
    manager.
