Frame in Tkinter Popup Putting Content into Main Window instead of Popup

I am trying to create an app using the Tkinter Python library, and I created a preferences popup. I want to add checkboxes to it, and I want to do it in Frames via pack().
I want something like this:
Expected Result (IK it's Edited but Proof of Concept)
This is what I'm getting:
Actual Result (Look at Bottom of Image)
This is what I wrote:

save.pack(side=RIGHT)
window.config(menu=topmenu)
preferencesHandler()
window.mainloop()
Did I do something wrong or is there a better way to go about this or is this question a mess (this is my first time doing this)? Also, I clipped out all of the unnecessary content.
Edit: Added More Code

I figured it out. Apparently, I needed to pack() the Frame separately.
The answer was:
autosave_container = Frame(preferencesWin,width=350)
autosave_container.pack()
Instead of:
autosave_container = Frame(preferencesWin,width=350).pack()

Treeview moves after click on Combobox with Tkinter

I have developped a app in Python (tested with 3.8 and 3.9 on Windows 10) with Tkinter. I am using a Combobox and a Treeview. I want to change dynamically the width of dropdown listbox and I could do it by changing the style of TCombobox with the parameter postoffset.
However, everytime I click on the Combobox, the table next to it moves and extends its width by itself. I really don't know where this problem comes from.
I have created a simple code so that you can reproduce the problem.
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
import tkinter.font as tkfont
def combo_configure(event, style):
combo = event.widget
long = max(combo.cget('values'), key=len)
font = tkfont.Font(family="Helvetica", size=10)
width = max(0,font.measure(long.strip() + '0') - combo.winfo_width())
style.configure('TCombobox', postoffset=(0,0,width,0))
win = tk.Tk()
win.geometry("850x250")
style = ttk.Style()
f = tk.Frame(win)
f.configure(bg="black")
f.pack()
combo = ttk.Combobox(f, style="TCombobox", values=["It's a test on Combobox style."], width=10)
combo.bind('<ButtonPress>', lambda e : combo_configure(e, style))
combo.pack(side="left")
tree = ttk.Treeview(f, column=["Column 1"], show='headings', height=10)
tree.heading(0, text="Column 1")
tree.column(0, anchor=tk.CENTER, width=125)
tree.pack()
win.mainloop()
Thanks.

Tkinter creating two windows instead of one

I have created this tkinter widget, but when I run the code I get a MainWindow and a window that is labeled tk when I only want the one (MainWindow).
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.ttk import *
import backend
def Sll_command():
row = backend.straightLineLink()
print(row)
style = Style()
style.configure('W.TButton', front =('calibri', 10,
'bold', 'underline'), foreground = 'red')
window = Tk()
window.wm_title("MainWindow")
window.resizable(width=True , height=True)
Grid.rowconfigure(window,0,weight=1)
Grid.columnconfigure(window, 0, weight=1)
b1 = Button(window, text = "SLL",
style = 'W.TButton',
command=Sll_command,)
b1.grid(row=2,column=5)
window.mainloop()

Tkinter MessageBox 'pausing' main GUI [duplicate]

I've found that when a toplevel widget calls a messagebox dialog (like "showinfo"), the root window is showed up, over the toplevel. Is there a way to set the Toplevel window as the master of the messagebox dialog ?
Here is a script to reproduce this :
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
# PYTHON 3 ONLY
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import messagebox
root = Tk()
root.title('ROOT WINDOW')
Label(root, text = 'Place the toplevel window over the root window\nThen, push the button and you will see that the root window is again over the toplevel').grid()
topWindow = Toplevel(root)
topWindow.title('TOPLEVEL WINDOW')
Label(topWindow, text = 'This button will open a messagebox but will\ndo a "focus_force()" thing on the root window').grid()
Button(topWindow, text = '[Push me !]', command = lambda: messagebox.showinfo('foo', 'bar!')).grid()
# --
root.mainloop()

You can set the parent argument to topWindow for the showInfo command:
Button(..., command=lambda: messagebox.showInfo(parent=topWindow, ...))

http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/tkinter-standard-dialogs.htm

This may address more current versions.
#TEST AREA forcommands/methods/options/attributes
#standard set up header code 2
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import messagebox
root = Tk()
root.attributes('-fullscreen', True)
root.configure(background='white')
scrW = root.winfo_screenwidth()
scrH = root.winfo_screenheight()
workwindow = str(1024) + "x" + str(768)+ "+" +str(int((scrW-1024)/2)) + "+" +str(int((scrH-768)/2))
top1 = Toplevel(root, bg="light blue")
top1.geometry(workwindow)
top1.title("Top 1 - Workwindow")
top1.attributes("-topmost", 1) # make sure top1 is on top to start
root.update() # but don't leave it locked in place
top1.attributes("-topmost", 0) # in case you use lower or lift
#exit button - note: uses grid
b3=Button(root, text="Egress", command=root.destroy)
b3.grid(row=0,column=0,ipadx=10, ipady=10, pady=5, padx=5, sticky = W+N)
#____________________________
root.withdraw()
mb1=messagebox.askquestion(top1, "Pay attention: \nThis is the message?")
messagebox.showinfo("Say Hello", "Hello World")
root.deiconify()
top1.lift(aboveThis=None)
#____________________________
root.mainloop()

Button(..., command=lambda: messagebox.showinfo("The Title", "A piece of text", parent=topWindow))
This will definitely work. The syntax of the messagebox is
messagebox.Function_Name(title, message [, options])
setting the parent argument is one of the options

add topWindow.attributes("-topmost", 1)
after defining the Toplevel, and this should fix the problem

Anti-aliased fonts in tkinter?

Is there a way to get anti-aliased fonts in tkinter? If I increase the size of the default font like so:
default_font = tkFont.nametofont("TkDefaultFont")
default_font.configure(size=32)
the text comes out jagged.
Here is some version information:
Python 2.7.9 (default, May 6 2015, 09:33:48)
>>> Tkinter.__version__
'$Revision: 81008 $
I am using Gentoo Linux and have Tk 8.5 installed (which i believe should support anti-aliased fonts):
$ equery l tk
[IP-] [ ] dev-lang/tk-8.5.17:0/8.5
EDIT: adding this full MWE to describe what I'm doing:
from Tkinter import *
import tkFont
from ttk import *
root = Tk()
note = Notebook(root)
default_font = tkFont.nametofont("TkDefaultFont")
default_font.configure(size=48)
tab1 = Frame(note)
tab2 = Frame(note)
Button(tab1, text='Exit', command=root.destroy).pack(padx=100, pady=100)
note.add(tab1, text = "Curvy Words")
note.add(tab2, text = "Aliased")
note.pack()
root.mainloop()
exit()

It turns out to have been an issue with how tk was installed with gentoo. After adding truetype support by setting the use flag
For example, I added the line to /etc/portage/package.use
>=dev-lang/tk-8.5.17 truetype
And then remerged tk:
emerge -Na tk

I don't know much about ttk, but do know that you use "style" to set the font-->ttk tutorial http://www.tkdocs.com/tutorial/styles.html This looks fine on my Slackware box, but it uses anti-aliased by default.
from Tkinter import *
import ttk
import tkFont
root = Tk()
##default_font = tkFont.nametofont("TkDefaultFont")
##default_font.configure(size=48)
f = tkFont.Font(family='helvetica', size=24)
s = ttk.Style()
s.configure('.', font=f)
note = ttk.Notebook(root)
tab1 = ttk.Frame(note)
tab2 = ttk.Frame(note)
note.add(tab1, text = "Curvy Words")
note.add(tab2, text = "Aliased")
note.pack()
ttk.Style().configure("TButton", padding=6, relief="flat",
background="white")
ttk.Button(tab1, text='Exit', command=root.destroy).pack(padx=100, pady=100)
root.mainloop()
