Thank you Kevin and Terry for looking at this. But now I'm very
confused about what to do.
I will open an issue and add Ned Deily, who is in charge of the Mac
release, as nosy. Let's see what he says. I will post the link here.
Terry said that I should install Tcl/TK 8.5.18, which I did, but I still
see the error. He said that the current version of IDLE will not work
with 8.6.
However, Kevin said that 8.5.18 is a very old release, and I may solve
my problem by upgrading my installation of Tk.
So, should I attempt to install a newer version of Tk (8.6.?) - or am I
just stuck with this odd insertion cursor behavior for now? (I am
using an absolutely vanilla download of Mac Python 3.6 from Python.org
<http://Python.org>)

PS: By the way, I did test out the same thing on my Windows 10 system
at my school, and the issue does not happen there. I realized that last
semester, this same classroom had a Mac, and I saw this problem there
(with Python 2.7).
Thanks for following up on this.
