Issue 790162: a bug in IDLE on Python 2.3 i think (original) (raw)

Hi, my name is Ricardo and i think there is a bug in the new release of Python 2.3. When i open a .py file with IDLE(after opening IDLE i open another .py file with it) the second window does not close after clicking the respective button, only the first(when i click the first window of IDLE) that has no code inserted, after trying to close the group(2 windows) only the first (the first IDLE window with no code inserted) closes leaving the other with code inserted open. i'm using Python 2.3 on Windows XP under an Intel PIII 1000EB FC-PGA. What i described happens after i open Python win then i open IDLE and then i open a .py file with IDLE, and when i try to close the .py and i can't. thanks

Assuming that IDLE is configured to open a shell (the default action), then opening a .py file and closing that .py window works for me.

Assuming that IDLE is configured to open an edit window, it comes up empty. If you then open a .py, the empty window is replaced with the whatever.py file and can be closed. Works for me.

Assuming you start python, and then in the interactive window "import idle", the windows open and close correctly, as far as I can tell. I'm using XP / SP 1 / P4 2.4

Please provide (in short sentences) a precise recipe to reproduce your problem.
