[New-bugs-announce] [issue37391] MacOS Touchpad scrolling crashes IDLE

[George Pantazes]

New submission from George Pantazes <georgepantazes at gmail.com>:

IDLE crashes if the user scrolls with the Mac mousepad (using two fingers, either up or down).

```$ python -m idlelib # Then I use the mousepad to scroll in the IDLE window
Traceback (most recent call last):
