[New-bugs-announce] [issue24816] don't allow selecting IDLE debugger menu item when running

[Mark Roseman]

New submission from Mark Roseman:

Right now when you're running a program you can still select the 'debugger' item in the menu... you just get an error dialog "you can only toggle the debugger when idle" (with a title "don't debug now").

While I got a kick out of the title and using the word "idle" in the error message, the menu item should just be disabled when it's not relevant
