[issue2995] Idle, some Linuxes, cannot position Cursor by mouseclick

[Michiel Overtoom]

Michiel Overtoom <motoom at xs4all.nl> added the comment:

I experience the same, on FreeBSD 7.0-REL, with tkinter compiled to use
Tk8.5 instead of Tk8.4.  Tkinter compiled for Tk8.4 doesn't have the
problem.

Moving the mouse over the text widget changes the cursor to the I-beam
as expected, but click on text doesn't position the beam at the mouse
position.  It is also impossible to select text with the mouse. 
Selecting text with shift-arrow keys works, however.

The same bug has been reported on the OLPC wiki:
