Description:
I coded a command/entry widget that consisted of an existing scrolling log widget plus a command entry field underneath. It has a problem on MacOS X 10.2.1 with aqua Tk 8.4.1 (but apparently not under unix or Windows):

When I bring up the window, the scrollbar shimmies and the CPU usage is high. Both of these can be stopped by resizing the toplevel window, and it does not happen if I specify an initial size for the toplevel window.

I reduced my code to quite a bit and have attached it as gridbug.tcl. I run it by pasting it into the Wish Shell console.

Several folks have reported that a Python/Tkinter version of this minimal code works fine on various flavors of unix and Windows, whereas I see the problem on MacOS X. Hence I suspect it is a Mac-specific bug, and possibly an aqua-Tk-specific bug.
