It's good to check the issues on Github:

https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/670 
<https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/670>

The short answer is that it is a Tcl/Tk problem.

The long answer is that this was something that was fixed for a while, then 
macOS updated and it broke in Tk again. Tk development is a bit behind on macOS 
and it's difficult to keep in sync as Pd requires an older version of Tk to 
support old versions of macOS back to 10.6. Fixing this will require yet 
another manual patch to the Tk 8.5 source code which I cannot even build on my 
macOS 10.14 system any more.
