Mouse highlighting in a Spinbox triggers unknown events

I have a Python Tkinter application which has some typical numeric spinbox widgets. When the spinbox is manipulated with arrow keys or data is simply entered, everything is normal. But if a mouse is used to highlight any of the numbers, some unknown (to me) events are firing which are causing problems - field validation events, field refreshes, etc..

Can anyone point me to documentation which describes what may be happening under the covers?

I've tried inhibiting the various mouse motion events, but that has no effect.

  • Here are some links to documentation on the Internet.

    Please provide code snippets next time because I don't know what exactly your problem is.
