Tk ignores the rest in versions \u003c 8.7, but in 8.7 and 9.0 this is an error. And this is for good, because \"px\" did not mean pixels, as was expected, but printer's points (1/72 inch).\r\n\r\nIf we want to keep the same look, we should change \"px\" to \"p\". But if it originally should be in pixels, we should remove the suffix. In all other places padding is specified in pixels, and this makes sense, so I believe the latter option is better.\n\n\u003c!-- gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n### Linked PRs\n* gh-120107\n* gh-122740\n* gh-122741\n\u003c!-- /gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/serhiy-storchaka","@type":"Person","name":"serhiy-storchaka"},"datePublished":"2024-06-05T11:52:15.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/120104/cpython/issues/120104"}
