Summary: AquaTk OS X Tooltip greedy with focus

Initial Comment:
environment:
OS X 10.2.1, Python 2.3a0, AquaTclTkBI-8.4.1, idlefork-0.8.1

When user opens a parenthesis in the Python Interpreter window, a tooltip appears as a coding aid. However, no key presses are effective in closing it and the user has to click on it with a mouse in order to return focus to the interpreter window in order to continue entering text. This becomes clumsy, slowing down typing, and rapidly irritates the user ;-)

This may be a bug in AquaTk but I don't know. I figured you are in a better position to decide if it is idlefork or AquaTclTk.

This is fixed in revision 1.5 of CallTipWindow.py, which is
after the 0.8.1 release. Grab idlefork from CVS and your
irritations will go away!

It doesn't work that way on other platforms, so I think the
focus change is due to an AquaTk bug.

There's a config option to disable the popup window, at
least in standard Python's IDLE version (I suppose it exists
in IDLEFORK too, but I don't know where).
