Tkinter test fails with macos Mojave

[vsuorant (Ville)]

This fails only on OSX 10.14 (Mojave). The same configuration works on OSX 10.13 with both systems having Xcode10 installed

I installed (compiled from source):

• gcc5
• python27 (2.7.15)
• tk@8.6.8_4+quartz

Running:

import Tkinter
Tkinter._test()

brings up an all black window without buttons or text on Mojave. The same test works fine on High Sierra.

This seems to be a problem with Tk.
the Tcl script

package require Tk
grid [ttk::button .b -text "Hello World"]

fails as well when tk is installed with the +quartz variant.
Tcl/Tk's ​bug reporting system seems to be down.
When the system comes back up, I will attempt to do more research.

I see. It looks like there is already a Tk ticket opened for this: ​https://core.tcl.tk/tk/tktview?name=09e18e42d7

Looks like Mojave fixes for Tk will hopefully be a part of Tk 8.6.9 - ​http://code.activestate.com/lists/tcl-core/20199/ - which might be released at the start of November - ​http://code.activestate.com/lists/tcl-core/20198/

My button and dropdown text is not appearing (functionality is fine) and I believe it is the same issue. Button and dropdown text is visible and works as expected before packaging with Pyinstaller but after packaging with Pyinstaller button and dropdown text never appears, and this is only occurring on Mojave. On High Sierra I can still see button and dropdown text before and after packaging with Pyinstaller. Please help! :(
