Unfortunately, the problem seems to be complex. Scid do not talk directly to X but through the tcl/tk library. I presumed that the tcl/tk version of your system is 8.6.0 (can be verified from Scid->Help->About Scid) and installed that version on my debian machine (previously 8.5.14) but it works fine. Maybe installing tcl/tk 8.5 can luckly fix the problem, but honestly i do not know.
