Hello. After upgrading to macOS 10.14.6 starting tkdiff immediately crashes the entire login session. The screen goes back to the sand dune background with prompts tp user and password. It is so complete I have no clue how to dig out more info but happy to try if someone can make suggestions. This is a killer for me, I use tkdiff a lot. Thanks.

That happened to me too. It's not just tkdiff, it's Tk itself, and it's happening to the Pythonistas who use tkInter, too. Obviously Apple didn't test either of them.

I'm working around it by running Tk from MacPorts under Quartz X11.

Running "brew cask install tcl" fixed it for me.

Just cleaning house of "do nothing" tickets (aka external software installation issues).
