what version of python is used?
Also which version of tcl/tk. (Check the about dialog.)
I suggest you file a problem report, including this information.

One idea could be to try out a different python version
or a manual build. Both if you happen to know how to do this
and are willing to invest the time. The chance to get new insights
is low.
