Hi,
I have installed the 8.5.18 version of tk/tcl that you suggested.
But I am still seeing this problem on my Mac.
Rather than trying to explain the details and my configuration, I have
made a 3 minute video so you can see exactly what I am seeing. You
can find that here:

Crystal clear.
In answer to your question, I would guess that I am the same IrvKalb
that is registered, but it would take me hours to figure out how to
register a bug (since I have never done it before). So if you believe
that this is a real bug, I would greatly appreciate it if you could
register it for me.
Again, please let me know if there is any more information I can give you.
(I forgot to test this out on my Windows computer at my school today -
I'll try to remember to do it tomorrow. I remember seeing this last
semester on the Windows system, but we were running Python 2 back then.)

FWIW, I don't see this issue with IDLE built against Python 3.6.1 and
Tcl/Tk 8.6.7. 8.5.18 is a very old release of Tk and we are not
backporting bugfixes to it. You may solve your problem by upgrading your
installation of Tk.
I don't know why the PSF Mac Python is still compiled against 8.5
instead of 8.6. I will open a tkinter issue, even though it will likely
be closed as 3rd party, both to document the problem and as more
evidence of the need to change to compiling against 8.6.
PS: About a year ago, someone (you?) said we might see a tk that
supports the unicode beyond the BMP in 2017. Is there any development
in that direction. I think that this is the tk improvement that IDLE
most needs.
