The double negative here makes this impossible to understand. Could we please get an updated NEWS entry that explains what actually changed in IDLE to fix this?

Perhaps something like "IDLE now always sets the default keybind for Return correctly, ensuring commands can be executed in the IDLE shell window"? (assuming that's what happened).

This is important, folks: NEWS entries need to be comprehensible for people that haven't read the associated tracker issue. This means that issue titles (which generally describe a problem someone was having) are often inappropriate as NEWS items. NEWS items should be short descriptions that clearly describe what changed, perhaps with some additional information to explain a bit about why the change was made.

Regards, Nick.
