Running gitk with Tk 8.5 \n(i.e., wish8.5) gives the expected behaviour.\n\nIt seems changes to the text and entry widget bindings in Tk 8.6 are \ncausing the problem.  Quoting http://wiki.tcl.tk/22115 :\n\n``The text widget's default bindings seem to have changed pretty \nconsiderably - a lot of things are now handled via custom events instead \nof direct bindings (notably things which move the cursor and alter \nselection)''\n\nSven\n"}]}
