| (1) IDLE starts up on Windows OK, but if I press Alt+F the file menu comes up giant sized (i.e., each menu entry is almost as tall as the screen). (2) If I open a file using Ctrl+O, the Open dialog pops up fine, but when I select a file and click Open, IDLE crashes. Oh, and (no version of) IDLE respects the cursor blink setting on Windows. |

| We are aware of several Windows related bugs with IDLE. I assume they are related to our Tcl/Tk build. |

| Tiran, agreed. You can reproduce this issue quickly outside of IDLE with this snippet: from Tkinter import * import tkMessageBox class App(Frame): def __init__(self, master): Frame.__init__(self,master) self.master.title("Wierd Menu") self.configure(height=200,width=200) self.grid(padx=15, pady=15,sticky=N+S+E+W) self.menu = Menu(self) self.master.config(menu=self.menu) self.tkMenu = Menu(self.menu) self.menu.add_cascade(label="MenuItem", menu=self.tkMenu) self.tkMenu.add_command(label="Test", command=self.Test) def Test(self): tkMessageBox.showinfo("Test", "Test") if __name__ == "__main__": root = Tk() app = App(root) root.mainloop() |

| I found that the huge font in menus is due to an error in the call to SystemParametersInfo. Digging more, vc2008 defines WINVER=0x0600, which corresponds to Windows Vista, and is too high for Windows XP: this value activates the definition of extra fields in the NONCLIENTMETRICS structure, and SystemParametersInfo on Windows XP will not accept a sizeof() greater than expected. I recompiled tk, adding WINVER=0x500 to the command line: nmake /f makefile.vc COMPILERFLAGS=-DWINVER=0x0500 And the menu is correctly displayed. I suggest to add this to the build_tkinter script. |

Wow, you are a genius! :) > I recompiled tk, adding WINVER=0x500 to the command line: > nmake /f makefile.vc COMPILERFLAGS=-DWINVER=0x0500 > And the menu is correctly displayed. > I suggest to add this to the build_tkinter script. Is 0x0500 fine for Windows 2000? Should we add WINVER=0x0500 to the Python project files, too? Christian |

Should we add something like this to PC/pyconfig.h to ensure that our build uses only Win2k compatible features and that the user is using at least 2k to compile Python? #ifdef WINVER # if WINVER < 0x0400 # error "Windows 2000 or newer is required" # endif # define WINVER 0x0500 # define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500 #endif Christian |

| I don't think this check is necessary. Some users may want to target specific windows versions, and compile their own modules with a higher WINVER. OTOH, python.org should compile with WINVER=0x0500, so that distributed binaries can run on most win32 platforms. |

| Assigning to tiran since I'm not building Python on XP. Changing to Tkinter, also. Is the file open bug fixed also by the suggested change? |
