I have experienced similar problems in Python 2.6.1 on Windows, and found them to be due to Tk 8.5. I posted my findings here: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/idle-dev/2009-January/002738.html In summary, Tk 8.5 changed the name of the "anchor" mark to be unique to each Text widget. The code to make the home key toggle between column 0 and the start of the text tries to make use of the "anchor" mark and gets confused. In the email I proposed a simple fix which I'm testing out right now. Should I attach it as a patch?
