[issue15348] IDLE - shell becomes unresponsive if debugger windows is closed while active.

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

I have never used the debugger, but I verified the bug. While something was 'hung', the debugger would not restart because something was 'busy'. I also verified that clicking [quit] first and then [x] works. I will try to test the second patch sometime.

Jimbo, the first priority is to fix crashes and hangs. We control the response to buttons we add, but the [x] close button involves the gui and operating system. So working with it can be trickier than it seems it ought to be.
