Tkinter Text widget scroll bar doesn't show the first character

Question

I am trying to make a horizontal scroll bar for a text widget in tkinter, it works but when the text is long, it starts not showing some parts of the first character untill it’s totally disappeared.

You can see some pixels of the first character in this image

That’s my code:

scrollbar = Scrollbar(window, orient='horizontal')
scrollbar.pack(side=BOTTOM, fill=X)

text = Text(window, font=("Calibri", 40), xscrollcommand=scrollbar.set)
text.tag_configure("center", justify='center')
text.insert("1.0", "222222222222222222222222222222")
text.tag_add("center", "1.0", "end")
text.config(width=100, height=1, background="#f2f2f2", borderwidth=0, state='disabled', wrap='none')
text.pack(pady=24)
scrollbar.config(command=text.xview)

I changed root.resizable(280, 20), try this:

from tkinter import*

root = Tk()
root.resizable(280, 20)
root.title("Scrollbar Widget Example")

scrollbar = Scrollbar(root, orient='horizontal')
scrollbar.pack(side=BOTTOM, fill=X)

text = Text(root, font=("Calibri", 40), xscrollcommand=scrollbar.set)
text.tag_configure("center", justify='center')
text.insert("1.0", "222222222222222222222222222222")
text.tag_add("center", "1.0", "end")
text.config(width=30, height=1, background="#f2f2f2", borderwidth=0, state='disabled', wrap='none')
scrollbar.config(command=text.xview)
text.pack(pady=24)
 
root.mainloop()
