Hi Irv, Thanks for the reproduction video! It certainly helped to clarify the issue that you were expriencing.
I can reproduce similar behavior with Python vesrions 3.6.8 and 3.7.3 (from python.org). My recently merged fix for issue 37177 does indeed fix this issue; with it, the search dialogs can't be hidden behind their parent editor/shell windows. - Tal Einat On Fri, Jun 7, 2019 at 8:12 PM Irv Kalb <i...@furrypants.com> wrote: > [I'm not sure of the proper protocol here, I hope sending a message this > way is OK.] > > Hi, > > I am writing about the potential fix to the Search Dialog box problem in > IDLE that I reported a while back.
