This is not clear to me. I had previously installed
both Tcl 8.5 and 8.6. Yesterday I installed Python 3.4.
Why did it not choose Tcl 8.6?

Not a Tkinter question: My Python Current link
points still to 2.7. Has this any meaning?

The differences are shown in

My doubt is still, whether this Tk 8.5 is now
the right one. In that case I would simple change
the height of the text widgets. As you notice
in 8.5 there appears also a border on the
selected list element, which I do not like too
much, but it is not important.
