[issue37706] IDLE test_sidebar testcases test_click_selection and test_drag_selection can fail on macOS

[Ned Deily]

New submission from Ned Deily <nad at python.org>:

On macOS, there are two test failure seen with test_sidebar (tested on 10.14 with Tk 8.6.8 and 8.6.0 - the failures should be reproducible with the python.org 3.8.0b3 installer for macOS which will be available soon.)
