[issue12748] IDLE halts on osx when copy and paste

I use the latest python 2.7.2 binary in a freshly installed os x
I use command c and command v, and also use the menu.
Also, it halts when I cut.
No matter what I cut, copy and paste, it halts.
It happens both in the shell and editor.

I have to remind myself not to use copy and paste now. Once I forget, IDLE 
halts and I have to force quit it and I lost everything unsaved.

Thanks but the problem is not completely solved
I followed your instruction and I can now use mouse to click the menu to copy 
and paste without problems.
But it still halts when using keyboard to do so.
Is there a complete solution?

[issue12748] IDLE halts on osx when copy and paste

Thank you. I kinda know what happens now.

First, I didn't made any change to IDLE after installed.

Second, I'm using dvorak-qwerty. Normally the keyboard layout changes to qwerty 
when I press Cmd key so that I can type in Dvorak and use the short cut in 
qwerty. But in IDLE it's not the same case. I find that the halt problem only 
occur when I copy. So I tried cut and paste. It happens that I can use both 
Cmd+x and Cmd+b (x in Dvorak layout) to cut and both Cmd+v and Cmd+.(v in 
Dvorak layout) to paste. So if I press Cmd+c, I'm inputting both Cmd+c and 
Cmd+j at the same time. And I think that's the reason why it halts. 

By hang, it's exactly what you described.

Also, i tried Tcl/Tk 8.4, the same problem happens.

It's weird since I don't have this problem in Windows when I use a third-party 
dvorak-qwerty input method.

I temporally changed to Dvorak now to avoid this problem, although there is a 
little bit inconvenient since all shortcut has changed.
