I frequently have this issue as well. My workaround is awful: I go to the terminal prompt to create an empty file with the desired name, and then open it up in IDLE to edit and save. This avoids the SaveAs dialog window that triggers the failure. This doesn't happen to me with new, empty directories. So, my best guess is that the document preview in the SaveAs window is triggering the failure. This problem may go away in the future with a O/S update or with a Tcl/Tk update. AFAICT, IDLE doesn't have any way to ask for a simplified FileDialog window. ---------- assignee: -> terry.reedy components: +IDLE nosy: +rhettinger, terry.reedy priority: normal -> high _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40553> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
