[New-bugs-announce] [issue37849] IDLE: Completion window misplaced when shown above current line

[Tal Einat]

New submission from Tal Einat <taleinat at gmail.com>:

When the current line is near the bottom of the shell window, the completions list will be shown above it.  However, instead of appearing directly above the current line, it appears quite a bit higher, about one line too high.  See attached screenshot.

Seen on Windows 10 with current master (2a570af12ac5e4ac5575a68f8739b31c24d01367).
