Hi Ned,

Thanks for your message.  But I want to make sure I understand what you are saying here.  

I am using absolutely vanilla Python 3.6 from python.org <http://python.org/>, but have upgraded to version 8.5.18  if ActiveState tk.  I was told that this version of Python would not work correctly with the current (8.6) version of tk.  So, I have not installed that.

Am I correct in understanding that this but is not fixable when using Python 3.6?  (That's OK, I just want to make sure.)

It sounds like when Python 3.7 comes out, if I still see the bug, I could upgrade to ActiveState 8.6.7, and that combination should fix the problem.  Is that correct?

Thanks again,

Irv

It is definitely not a Python issue as I am able to reproduce the positioning problem using the current ActiveState Community Edition 8.6.6 and 8.5.18 macOS Wish shell text widget demos (as long as I use spaces at the beginning of a line and not tabs).  However, the current MacPorts Tk which has been updated to 8.6.7 does not seem to have this problem, so, if it was fixed in Tk, it was fixed fairly recently.  The python.org 3.7 for macOS will use 8.6 by default prior to feature code off.
