I'm trying to update the cursor in my Tkinter app when the mouse moves. As a simplified example: import tkinter as tk root = tk.Tk() root.geometry("500x200") frame2 = tk.Frame(root) frame = tk.Canvas(frame2) def on_mouse_motion(event): if event.x > 200: frame2.config(cursor="xterm") else: frame2.config(cursor="crosshair") frame.bind("<Motion>", on_mouse_motion) frame.pack(expand=True, fill="both") frame2.pack(expand=True, fill="both") root.mainloop() However, the cursor updates the first one or two times and then stops changing. I've noticed that it works if I change the cursor on the Canvas and not the container, but because of limitations with the widget I'm working with (which is a non-standard widget but also faces the same problem), that's not possible. I've tried using update and update_idletasks, but with no avail. The only thing that seems to work is if I put print() in the callback, which is kind of wierd, and not a fantastic solution. I was wondering if anyone has encountered this issue in the past and knows how to work around/fix it? Continue reading...
