> Victor, I forgot to ask.  Did you properly test IDLE before committing the patch?  This means building python 3.5, starting IDLE, and exercising the modules affected.  test_idle is nowhere nearly a substitute for such hand-testing.  This is a big part of the 'bother' I referred to.

No, I only ran test_idle. I didn't know that it's not enough.

I ran "./python -m idlelib" and played with the UI: no obvious bug
occurred. I don't know what I am supposed to test.
