I created a scolledtext.ScrolledText in my application and passed width=50 and height=50 but the width was half the height, so I changed width to 100 and it worked. But I was just wondering why it is like that.
In the ScrolledText widget, the width is the number of characters and the height is the number of lines. In your case
height=58, width=58
will give you a box that is 58 characters wide and 58 lines long. Since the fonts are approximately 7 pixels wide by 12 pixels high, it will be a rectangular box. 406x696. Increasing the width to 100 would give you a box of 700x696 which is approximately square
