Description
Creating an IntVar and waiting for it using wait_variable on the CTk object pauses the entire program regardless
without "self.window.wait_variable(wait_variable)" allows the program to flow as usual, however adding it prevents the entire program from running
When the button is pressed it calls a lambda function which sets the value of "wait_variable" to 1

Research direction
Start by reproducing the report with a CustomTkinter CTk object, an IntVar, and the button lambda that sets the variable to 1. Trace the call to self.window.wait_variable(wait_variable) and compare execution with and without it; done means waiting for the button no longer halts the rest of the program.
