you can press the middle mouse button and move it left/right to scroll sideways. (This is standard for tcl/tk apps.) But this is not my problem.

I turn the scroll wheel and the window scrolls up and down (which is expected and good). But at the same time parts of the *content* of the window starts moving right and so make the (virtual) window broader.

Best regards Uwe
