This is a Tk limitation I believe. I remember looking into it years ago and it appeared that it cannot change the cursor until you move the mouse. I always tell people in workshops to move the mouse before checking the cursor for edit mode or not. It *might* have something to do with how macOS handles it;'s cursors but I think it also applies to the various Linux windowing systems too. Someone can chime in on that.
