Hello!
When I was working on Tkinter GUI, I made a Text with two Scrollbars. But when I created many lines, filled the last line with letters, and then dragged the YScrollbar upwards, the XScrollbar could not be dragged. Moreover, when dragging down to the end, the Slider of the XScrollbar is not on the far right.
I hope this bug can be fixed as soon as possible.

Thank you for reporting this issue. I have personally found this problem to be annoying and it is also noted in msg377227. I did a brief bit of research but couldn't find an existing ticket on https://core.tcl-lang.org/tk/ticket so please feel free to report it there.

I believe it is a side-effect of optimisations the Tk team have made to allow the Text widget to have reasonable performance with a large number of lines (so I would be surprised if this limitation was not already known by them). Again, thank you for reporting this issue, but tkinter is just a thin wrapper around Tk so I think the issue here should be closed.
