I am working on an App in tkinter. Can not post the code because it is too complicated and the artifacts would not be visible in simplified version.
You can see on the attached video that if I resize the whole window, it looks not bad. It is not perfect smooth but it is ok. But when I use PanedWindos sashes to resize, a lot off artifacts is visible during resizing. In the end when I release the mouse button it looks ok.
Do you have experience with this? Some tips what could cause such a behavior?

EDIT:
I have created minimal version which reproduces the behavior. ScrollFrame class makes the artifacts more noticeable.
