Solution 1:

You haven't specified a value for the wrap option of the text widget, so by default the text in the widget will wrap at the edge of the window. If text is wrapped, there is never anything beyond the right margin, so scrollbars are useless.

If you want the scrollbars to work, turn wrapping off by setting the wrap option of the widget to the string "none".

text=tk.Text(win, height=1, font='Helvetica 12', wrap="none")
