It is very simple program.

import tkinter
tkinter.Button(None, text='button').pack()
tkinter.mainloop()

I expect this program shows me such as a below picture.
work well

But it shows a below picture actually.
not work

When it is resized on GUI it seems working well.

It didn't occur this problem in High Sierra.

My environment is following:

  • macOS Mojave 10.14
  • Python 3.7.0

Could you advice to me?

I found out same problem on here.
