I have written a very simple GUI in Python / Tkinter, running under Python 2.5.4 on Windows.
The GUI is essentially a big Tix.ScrolledText area, where you can enter some text, and a button underneath to process the text. (The button causes the text to be looked up in a SQLite database, and some stats are generated and displayed in a web browser). One of my users is reporting to me that intermittently, he loses the ability to paste text into the Tix.ScrolledText area. He says that copy and paste works in all his other applications, but suddenly it will not work in my app's text widget. Even weirder, he says that once the ability to paste goes away, it will not work *until he reboots his computer*. Even if there's some sort of bug with my app, I can't think of any way that this problem could persist across stopping and starting the program. Seems like restarting the program should put things back into a pristine state. So I'm beginning to wonder if there's some sort of deeper bug with Tkinter or Tix? How could this bug persist until a reboot? Does Python run some background service to handle Tk calls that remains running across Python instantiations? Any ideas or suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
