seen with all version, built with Tcl8.5
To reproduce the bug, use the following class:
class x(object):
 TEST = "hello"
 THE_MAXIMUM = 55
 def __init__(self, a, b):
 self.a = 3
 self.b = "test"
and set the cursor behind "test". After that use SHIFT + UP (so from 3 to incl. "test" will be marked) and after that use SHIFT + POS1, which will produce this exception:
>>> Exception in Tkinter callback
