Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I am not surprised that non-ascii chars fail also. But, all? or just a few (all symbol? or only diacriticals)?
My first thought was that you have a european keyboard that is does not match your Ubuntu configuration. Or that you had an older tcl/tk that did not work with such. ^O opens a dialog that IDLE is not involved with. Alt-M open a different tk widget that IDLE in not involved with. Do shell and editor have exactly the same problems? Let's try two other things. Alt-F3 opens Find in Files (grep). Can you enter any of `'^~ on the first line? Put anything on the first line and add a *fake* directory on the second (so you have something like zyx/*.py). Search. Try typing in the Output Window. It is slightly different from shell and editor (no colors, for instance). Ankit: I am trying to narrow possibilities using my knowledge of IDLE internals. I wish I knew what *I* need to learn for this. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25356> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
