In the versions of IDLE that I have here (2.7.3 and 3.2.3), both prevent me from repeating step #3 multiple times. > ============================================================ > STEPS TO REPRODUCE BUG 2: "Hide and go seek!" > ============================================================ > > 1.

Sure, because I activated the main IDLE window, it covers the dialog, but I can just select the Open dialog in my task-bar and it pops to the top (alternatively, I could have it display at a higher layer to prevent it from getting covered by the main IDLE window). This is the behavior I want and expect (I often want to refer to text in one window to inform my decisions in a modal window). I've got it running under Fluxbox on Debian Stable and it does exactly what I want/expect. -tkc -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
