Description

I have an application that opens multiple windows, and when running on Windows 10 with Python3.9, opening a second window causes this error:

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_3.9.3568.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1892, in __call__
    return self.func(*args)
  File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_3.9.3568.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 814, in callit

    return getattr(self.tk, attr)
AttributeError: '_tkinter.tkapp' object has no attribute 'block_update_dimensions_event'

I've tried researching this, but I can't find anything. To my knowledge, I'm not missing any packages. I've uninstalled and reinstalled python, as well as tried this on multiple computers.

Research direction

Start with the traceback location in customtkinter/windows/widgets/scaling/scaling_tracker.py at line 186 and inspect how windows are tracked during DPI-scaling checks. Reproduce the reported Windows 10/Python 3.9 case by opening a second window, then determine what allows the callback to call the missing method; done means the callback no longer raises this AttributeError.
