[Tkinter-discuss] Strange word wrapping behaviour in Text widget

[Michael O'Donnell]

Thanks Michael,

  Just checked it with Windows, and no problem,
although the current 3.3.4 install uses TK 8.5.11,
and my problem was under 8.5.15.

But Python 3.4 with Tk 8.6 exhibits no problem
also, so maybe a MacOSX problem.
