Relatedly, I saw a similar issue using the buggy Tk 8.5.9 included with macOS. The issue went away using either 8.4 or a newer 8.6.

In that case, it was the audio dialog opening in a slightly lower position each time.

So those lines were present ina "good" version, then gone in a "slightly

must be interacting with sonething else, but I don't know what.

i checked and it seems that the problem is the deferred instantiation of
the pdmenus, as introduced by dan's OSX menu fixes in 0759bcf2.

i'm currently looking for a fix for this problem.
