[issue30890] IDLE: Input method error in comment with Korean language

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

I am thinking that this is a artifact of the combination of monitor pixel and subpixel type, size, and arrangement; font type and size; particular character; and character generation software. When I load the file in IDLE, the Korean comment chars are a nice uniform red.  But the l in color is tinged green while in 'for x in range', the vertical parts of first r, i, and n are gray instead of keyword orange.  Range is spotty because builtin purple uses red and blue subpixels while green is off.

The spacebar bit through me off and still puzzles me, but overall color glitches are not limited to Korean.

Bottom line: IDLE can tell tk 'color this substring red', but has no control after that as to what happens.  So I am 99.9% sure this is not an IDLE bug.
