[New-bugs-announce] [issue37628] IDLE Font Sample distracting and too large

[Raymond Hettinger]

New submission from Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettinger at gmail.com>:

The "font sample" bar on the General tab in Preferences is problematio.  With some font sizes, it grows so large that there is no way to mouse downward to click "accept".  Making the window smaller and perhaps only showing one or two samples would be a big win.

Also consider having the window off by default and having a button to turn make it visible.  I've need seen a single user benefit from this garish display.
