Confirming the problem with Tk 8.6 for git 2.4.6. The <home> and <end> keys are also affected inside text fields. Running gitk with Tk 8.5 (i.e., wish8.5) gives the expected behaviour.

It seems changes to the text and entry widget bindings in Tk 8.6 are causing the problem. Quoting http://wiki.tcl.tk/22115 :

``The text widget's default bindings seem to have changed pretty considerably - a lot of things are now handled via custom events instead of direct bindings (notably things which move the cursor and alter selection)''
