[issue41278] Wrong Completion on Editing Mode of IDLE

[Terry J. Reedy]

We cannot do anything with this report unless you give exact keystroke-by-keystroke details and we are able to reproduce the issue.  Also, what OS?  If *nix, which?  How did you start IDLE?

Unless you start IDLE with -n or explicitly import idlelib, it should not be possible for idlelib to appear as a completion.  The run.py code was written to avoid adding anything to the main namespace.  When you start or restart Shell, dir() only lists double underscore names.
