[issue24893] Tk occasionally mispositions Text() insert cursor on mouse click.

Ronald Oussoren added the comment: Is this still reproducible? A question to those that can reproduce this: does this happen with the built-in screen (assuming a laptop or iMac) or an external interface? If the latter, is that a retina display? And does this happen more when moving IDLE

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I suspect that this is entirely a tkinter problem, not an IDLE problem. For the editor, ButtonRelease is bound to set_line_and_column which updates the status bar. The function return None so tk can handle the click to move the cursor. -- versions:

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Guido, we are looking at the PyCon 2014 keynote video where the text cursor was misplaced relative to the mouseclick, trying to guess the reason. Do you still have the Mac laptop you used? If so, have you upgraded its python? The hideous moment is at 7:10.
