Cannot see all tabs in ttk.Notebook
Question: I have some trouble with the tabs from the ttk Notebook class in python 2.7. I
cannot see all the tabs I create.

I made a minimal code to view the problem:

    
    
    from Tkinter import *
    import ttk
    
    root = Tk()
    nb = ttk.Notebook(root, width=320, height=240)
    nb.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=1)
    page0 = Frame(nb)
    page1 = Frame(nb)
    page2 = Frame(nb)
    page3 = Frame(nb)
    page4 = Frame(nb)
    nb.add(page0, text="0")
    nb.add(page1, text="1")
    nb.add(page2, text="2")
    nb.add(page3, text="3")
    nb.add(page4, text="4")
    
    root.mainloop()
    

All I can see is

I tried to change the number of tabs and I noticed the size of the top tab bar
changes and unless there's only one single lonely tab, I cannot see all of
them, as you can see:

What I tried that didn't do anything:

  * Setting tabs width
  * Moving the .pack() around
  * Adding .pack() to the tabs
  * Using ttk.Frame instead of tk.Frame
  * Googling for a similar problem

What I tried that worked but isn't what I want:

  * Not using tabs (too many stuff to show)
  * Having only one tab

I'll appreciate any help, thanks!


Answer: So I did fix your issue however, I have no idea why tk is doing this. I solved
this tab over-lapping by increasing the length of the tab text. I changed this
portion of your code:

    
    
    nb.add(page0, text="long_name1")
    nb.add(page1, text="long_name2")
    nb.add(page2, text="long_name3")
    nb.add(page3, text="long_name4")
    nb.add(page4, text="long_name5")
    

Once again I don't know why tk does this! Someone that is more experienced
with tk could probably tell you why.
