CTkOptionMenu class is not properly handling the StringVar object

[CyberCell8080]

This error message indicates that there is an issue with the customtkinter.CTkOptionMenu class. It seems that the CTkOptionMenu class is not properly handling the StringVar object passed to it as an argument. This could be a bug in the customtkinter library. You may want to report this issue to the developers of the customtkinter library.

@TomSchimansky @demberto - Just wanted to say, I have come across this issue in developing my own project. But in the end, I did get the StringVar passed to my class properly. My class inherited from CTkScrollableFrame and took a StringVar as an argument (in the __init__ method).
