All was going well as seen in the 1st pic below. all the cells are the same perfect size. its great.
But then comes the implementation of the textbox. and all hell breaks loose. as seen in the 2nd picture it completely disrupts my grid layout. i dont want the textbox adjusting cell sizes, i want it to go where i tell it to go like all the other widgets do. Ive spent hours on this and no avail!

textbox ruining grid by not adjusting itself accordingly and fitting to the grid i set.
There is a lot of wrong doing in your code and you really should take a good tutorial for tkinter and you may wish to have a brief overview of tkinters geometry management.
The biggest issue is whats causes your code to work differently as you expect it, you always define the root as the master. Every widget, except for the root window, has a master and is set by the ONLY positional argument every widget requiers. Note that if None is given, the root window is set by default. This is, because tkinter is built hirachically and at the top of this hirachy stands the root window (the instance of tk.Tk()).
A master should be a container and this means either the root window, a Toplevel or a Frame. Masters can have so called children, which can be every other widget plus frames that are handled as children. The relationship between a master and a frame are various, but for the scope of this question we will just look at the geometry.
Every widget has a geometry and can be received by the universal widget method .winfo_geometry() that will give you a geometry string 'widthxheight±x_offset±y_offset' (e.g. '120x50-0+20'). The geometry string is the basement for every calculations to order your widgets, which you can affect by choosing a geometry manager and different optional keywords. With those information an output will be created and displayed on your screen.

I managed to solve it by replacing the Text() widget with the scrolledtext.ScrolledText() widget. Its strange. No grid was required and if i remove height and width then it messes it up. Why does height and width have such an impact? why does it even exist when you have things like column and row configure along with sticky. Tkinter is quite confusing sometimes with its logic. But anyways, got there in the end.
Here's the code in case anyone encounters a similar issue.

Good day.
I am attempting to create an options selection menu for a school assignment.
I am using the Python 3.7.2 Themed Tkinter library in order to display this program properly. However, I am having some issues getting my ttk.Checkbutton() widgets to display appropriately. However, while the Checkbutton() is set to be unchecked by default, it is displaying a black square within the button. I have confirmed that this black square represents a false value, as when I click it it displays the true check. When I uncheck it, however, it becomes blank rather than returning to the black square state.
I have checked this issue with both BooleanVar() and IntVar() values, with the same issue.
Here is an excerpt from the code, which is functional:
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
root = Tk()
root.title("Order Manager")
menu__pizza_1_count = IntVar()
menu__pizza_1_count.set(0)
menu__pizza_1_cheese = BooleanVar()
menu__pizza_1_cheese.set(False)
menu__pizza_1_bacon = BooleanVar()
menu__pizza_1_bacon.set(False)
menu__pizza_1_label = ttk.Label(root, text="A Shrubbery")
menu__pizza_1_label.grid(row=0, column=0, columnspan=2, padx=5, pady=5)
menu__pizza_1_price = ttk.Label(root, text="$8.50")
menu__pizza_1_price.grid(row=1, column=0, columnspan=1, padx=5, pady=5)
menu__pizza_1_current = ttk.Label(root, textvariable=menu__pizza_1_count)
menu__pizza_1_current.grid(row=1, column=1, padx=5, pady=5)
menu__pizza_1_cheese = ttk.Checkbutton(root, text="Cheese", variable=menu__pizza_1_cheese, offvalue=False, onvalue=True)
menu__pizza_1_cheese.grid(row=2, column=0, pady=5)
menu__pizza_1_bacon = ttk.Checkbutton(root, text="Bacon", variable=menu__pizza_1_bacon, offvalue=False, onvalue=True)
menu__pizza_1_bacon.grid(row=2, column=1, pady=5)
menu__pizza_1_increase = ttk.Button(root, width=7, text="+") #add count COMMAND
menu__pizza_1_increase.grid(row=3, column=0, padx=5, pady=5)
menu__pizza_1_decrease = ttk.Button(root, width=7, text="-") #decrease count COMMAND
menu__pizza_1_decrease.grid(row=3, column=1, padx=5, pady=5)
[This is what the end result looks like on my end][1]
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get it do display as blank by default?

Elliott

You checkbox name in the same as the variable name. If you use different names, the checkboxes work correctly.

In using the code reproduced below, I noticed that in both Press-Release and Motion actions, tkinter reports negative event.x values when we move the mouse from right to left.
My question: for the purposes of identifying correctly the widget that the mouse finally rested, whatever the direction taken, what is the correct way of identifying the (event.x, event.y) points in the containing frame?
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()

print(f"{event.widget} clicked at: {event.x, event.y}")
print(f"{event.widget.grid_info()}")
def release(event):
print("RELEASE")
end_x, end_y = event.x, event.y
print(f"{end_x, end_y}")
locate(end_x, end_y)
def motion(event):
print(f"{event.widget}: mouse position motion at {event.x, event.y}")
def locate(end_x, end_y):
end_x = int(end_x)
end_y = int(end_y)
print(f"Released at {fr.grid_location(end_x, end_y)}")
end_col, end_row = fr.grid_location(end_x, end_y)
print(end_col, end_row)
print(f"Actual frame info: {fr.grid_info()}")
fr = Frame(root, width=200, height=300,bg="dark blue")
fr.grid(sticky=NSEW, padx=2, pady=2)

Thanks.
for the purposes of identifying correctly the widget that the mouse finally rested, whatever the direction taken, what is the correct way of identifying the (event.x, event.y) points in the containing frame?
The x/y coordinates of the release event are relative to the widget that got the press event, which explains why the values can be negative.
The coordinates to use for finding the widget under the cursor are event.x_root and event.y_root, which you can pass to winfo_containing to get the actual widget.
For example:
def release(event):
window = root.winfo_containing(event.x_root, event.y_root)
print(f"window under the cursor: {window}")
Recently, I tried to make a full application window with a side panel menu with separate frames running some functions and submitting forms in the canvas frame.
But I found that every time I click on any entry in listbox it runs the function or method without clearing the existing one .
I tried destroy() and forget() didn't work for me (maybe I didn't know exactly how to use it?!, and the destroy() function prevent using the function again till I close the whole application and run it again!) this is a photo of my problem
this is my code :
import tkinter as tk

self.menu_left_upper.pack(side="top", fill="both", expand=True)

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Control Panel")
root.style = ttk.Style()
root.style.theme_use("clam")
user = MainWindow(root)
root.mainloop()
If what you're really asking is how to replace an existing notebook with a new notebook, all you need to do is call destroy() on the old notebook before creating the new one.
First, define self.tabControl to None somewhere in MainWindow.__init__. Then, in tabtop you can delete the old notebook before creating the new one:
def tabtop(self):
if self.tabControl is not None:
self.tabControl.destroy()
...
Recently, I tried to find a way to paginate through listbox entries that runs functions that opens frames with forms, tabs or else, but I didn't find it.
Clearly, I wanna create a control panel application which has a side panel which can switch between pages/frames that hold widgets that user will interact with.
this is the code which I wrote to try to achieve this manner:

self.menu_left_container = tk.Frame(root, width=150, bg="#ababab")
self.menu_left_upper = tk.Frame(self.menu_left_container, width=150, height=150, bg="red")
self.menu_left_upper.pack(side="top", fill="both", expand=True)
# create a listbox of items
self.Lb1 = tk.Listbox(self.menu_left_upper,bg ="red", borderwidth=0, highlightthickness=0 )
