[New-bugs-announce] [issue38440] Possible news issues with IDLE

[Raymond Hettinger]

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

I've been exercising the 3.8.0rc1 version of IDLE and noticed two anomalies but have not had a chance to investigate further:

* Periodically in a long shell session, the cursor jumps to the beginning of the cumulative text output.  This necessitates a lot of scrolling to get back down to the active part of the session.

* The pop-up message box for interrupting currently running code will appear several times in succession.  Dismissing the box doesn't clear a queue of events, so the message may occur several times in a row.
