[Tkinter] CTkScrollableDropdown error: bad window path name ".!ctkscrollabledropdown"

[CopperGenie]

Hello! I'm using tkinter, customtkinter (ctk), and CTkScrollableDropdown (ctksd). This last library adds the ability to easily implement scrollable dropdown menus to various ctk elements. I followed ctksd's installation instructions, imported the library, and called the CTkScrollableDropdown class after my ctk element like in their example. However, I'm getting this error after I delete the widget. The error keeps spamming with every interaction with the GUI thereafter.

Error:
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):

import tkinter as tk import customtkinter as ctk import CTkScrollableDropdown as ctksd   def clear_screen_widgets(): # deletes all present widgets     widgets = root.winfo_children() # Get a list of all the widgets in root     for widget in widgets:         widget.destroy()   def goto_screen_client_info_2(values):     clear_screen_widgets()   root = ctk.CTk()   combobox_client_info_1 = ctk.CTkComboBox(master=root, values='foo') combobox_client_info_1.place(relx=0.5, rely=0.33, relwidth=.4, anchor=tk.CENTER) combobox_client_info_1.bind("<Return>", goto_screen_client_info_2) # run command when enter key is pressed ctksd.CTkScrollableDropdown(combobox_client_info_1, values='foo', justify="left", button_color="transparent", autocomplete=True)   root.mainloop()

I suspect this might have to do with the fact that no parent is passed to CTkScrollableDropdown. Any ideas? Is there a safer method for deleting a widget that doesn't lead to this error?

You should post your issue with the package on github.

It appears to work ok as long as you don't try to delete the dropdown window. There is no problem with deleting the combobox. Why are you deleting widgets anyway?
