+- Issue #14409: IDLE doesn't not execute commands from shell, +  error with default keybinding for Return. (Patch by Roger Serwy) 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? Please consider that Andrew is not a native speaker of English. So it's unfair to ask him to rewrite the NEWS entry. That can only be done by a native speaker.

The NEWS entries need to be treated as being at least close to on par with the rest of the docs - it's OK if someone can't come up with the words themselves, but if that's the case, then it's preferable to ask for help with the wording explicitly.

Is my suggested rephrasing correct? I don't know, as I'm not familiar with either the original problem or what was done to fix it.

Regards, Nick.
