Research direction

No repository file or test is named. Start by reproducing the intermittent button behavior with CustomTkinter 5.2.1 on macOS Sonoma and compare Tcl/Tk 8.6.12 with 8.6.13; done would require determining whether a project change is needed beyond the reported Tcl/Tk upgrade.

Description

bug

I am using CustomTkinter Ver 5.2.1

In MAC OS Sonoma - 14.2.1 (23C71)
Using python 3.11.6
Button cannot be always be pressed. There is a random pattern, some times they are able to be pressed sometimes not.

Code worked as intended in Windows 10/11 and Ubuntu 20.4 and 22.4
Also MAC OS BigSur and Ventura and even Maverics for me at least, worked fine.

My solution was to update tcl/tk from 8.6.12 to 8.6.13

"Homebrew provides the stable version 8.6.13 of Tcl/Tk, which is compatible with various macOS versions including Sonoma, Ventura, Monterey, and Big Sur on both Apple Silicon and Intel architectures"

I used this command on my MAC OS Sonoma: brew install tcl-tk

Just wanted to post it so to save time for the next developer who comes across this issue.
