Chris i get so tired of your trolling, you cannot just post chastisements of me without proving your side beyond a shadow of a doubt, which you have failed (yet again) to do. Since most people in this community are not experienced with the bugs of IDLE, i will now present you with the steps required to reproduce the two filedialog bugs i mentioned in my first post of this thread. Chris, i challenge you to follow these direction and then report back on this thread your opinion on what "benefits" these buggy filedialog displays are offering to IDLE. Myself and others would just *love* to hear your opinions. ============================================================ STEPS TO REPRODUCE BUG 1: "Attack of the clones!" ============================================================ 1. Open the IDLE application 2. Maximize the window that appears 3. Go to the "File Menu" and choose the "Open" command Now repeat step 3 at least one more time, but feel free to keep opening new dialogs until your fingers bleed and/or eyes pop out. Okay, now tell us, in what manner can an "interface bug" like this be "beneficial"? ============================================================ STEPS TO REPRODUCE BUG 2: "Hide and go seek!" ============================================================ 1. Open the IDLE application 2. Maximize the window that appears 3. Go to the "File Menu" and choose the "Open" command 4. Without disturbing the dialog, minimize the main window 5. Using the taskbar icon, maximize the window Where is the dialog? How will you retrieve it *WITHOUT* reducing the size of the window? And even if you are smart enough to "intuit" what happened to the dialog, and how to retrieve it, how will a noobie "intuit" such a disappearing act? And how in the hell can this be beneficial? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
