Hi,

[Sergei, I'm CC'ing you on this, in the hope you might know more than I
 do about the current state of this with Tcl/Tk ...]

I'm pretty sure this is *not* a bug in wavesurfer per se, or at least
it would be pretty horrible if every app needed to work around this
individually ...

But the best hint I could find of how Tcl/Tk deals with this was here:
https://github.com/cpbotha/nvpy/issues/141#issuecomment-264427578

Sergei, is the patch there an insane way to deal with this, or should
we actually apply that to the libtk8.6 packages we are shipping?

Leonardo, could you confirm if changing that does indeed fix this
for you with the wavesurfer 1.8.8p5-1 package I've just pushed out
and tk8.6?

  Cheers,
  Ron
