Sorry, I'm not able to reproduce the behavior you report, either using a 
current OS X 10.8.2 system with python.org 2.7.3 and ActiveTcl 8.5.13 or on a 
virtual 10.6.8 system with an 8.5.12 ActiveTcl.  That said, such behavior would 
almost certainly be due to behavior within Tk or OS X rather than IDLE or 
Python itself.  It might also depend on what font and font size you are using 
and on OS X extension programs you might have installed.  Or on one or more 
System Preferences settings like input method.  Since there are so many 
variables, it can be very difficult to isolate exactly what difference is 
significant in such cases.

Just to be sure, exactly which version of Tk 8.5 are you using with this IDLE?  
Assuming you have a version of Xcode command line tools installed, type the 
following commands in the IDLE shell window:

import Tkinter, subprocess, _tkinter
Tkinter.Tcl().eval('info patchlevel')
print(subprocess.check_output(["otool", "-L", _tkinter.__file__]))
