Doubtful. On what version of Windows did you test Tk? I think you said 
previously you are running Win 10? Remember:

     https://core.tcl.tk/tk/info/69b48f427e94899a

This bug was triggered by Win 10 Falls Creator Update and was not fixed 
by the April 2018 Update.

However perhaps this got fixed by the October 2018 Update? Do you 
already have this october 2018 Update installed? Because MS had kind of 
a problem with it:

Fortunately the loss of end user data this update brought is obviously 
compensated by the numerous breakthroughs in this version, e.g. 
(selected quotes from the changelog 
https://www.windowscentral.com/windows-10-october-2018-changelog ):

- Microsoft Edge now features a subtle drop shadow behind tabs.
- Windows Calculator now correctly calculates square roots for perfect 
squares.
- Notepad now features Unix/Linus line endings (LF) and Macintosh line 
endings (CR.)
- Wrap-around find/replace now available in Notepad.
- When your volume is muted, the volume icons in the Sound Settings page 
will also now appear muted
- and a lot more !! ROTFL!

Seriously: Do you confirm this test textTag-18.1 is fixed for Win10 with 
the October 2018 Update? Would be surprising but very good news.
