I couldn't reproduce this issue with any of the 3.7.1rc1 and 3.6.7rc1 installers from python.org on my macOS.

This certainly seems like an issue with Tcl/Tk versions before 8.6.8.

It is unfortunate that ActiveState have still not released ActiveTcl 8.6.8; the latest version is 8.6.7 which does exhibit this issue.

ISTM we should update the section of the docs about GUI programming on macOS, which suggests using the latest version of Tcl/Tk from ActiveState:
