Irritating problem, isn't it?  I experience the same on FreeBSD with Tk8.5.
I had to downgrade to Tk8.4, which has ugly fonts.

See http://bugs.python.org/issue2995

"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."

It's closed because it doesn't seem related to Python.
