    Research direction

    Start by reviewing the linked Tk86MacIssue.mov and Tk85Mac.mov recordings and the migrated BPO issue 34370, then inspect the Tkinter component context. No source file or test is named; done would require establishing a current, actionable CPython change for the macOS scrolling behavior rather than an issue belonging to third-party Tk.
