in reply to Re: tk frame packing showing inconsistent behaviour
in thread tk frame packing showing inconsistent behaviour

As per the doc , if i use -side => top, then the width of the parcel is the width of the cavity and its height is the requested height of the slave plus the -ipady and -pady options.
So I set a smaller height for the $hlistframe so that it does not use up the available vertical space and some space is still left for the $bottomframe. Also packed the $bottomframe with -side=>bottom. But it is not working.
May be I am doing something wrong. Plese help.
Thanks.

    Try reading the algorithm again, paying close attention to the options in -bold

    packorder is packorder it determines who gets dibs first, and you have $bottomframe last in the packorder

    The solution is to change the packorder
