[issue41373] IDLE: edit/save files created by Windows Explorer

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

So loading an externally created blank file (on any system) results in None.  File=>New must set eol_convention, I presume to the same default.  Before I got the traceback, I though it might be an issue with the Windows utf-8 BOM being added.

3.9.0rc1 is due August 10.  It should have fix and new tests.

----------
stage: patch review -> test needed
