Yes, I get the same. But it is a problem of the underlying Tk
implementation. I get the same strange behaviour in wish.

Text widgets seem to have the same problem and it has to do with the use
of QuickDraw rather than ATSUI in Tcl/Tk 8.4. Whereas 8.5 uses ATSUI but
this seems to cause other problems.
