New submission from marcus harris <harrismh...@charter.net>:
Under some circumstances, which I will detail later down the note, if I click
File --> Close without explicitly saving, and without running the module with
Run --> Run Module , then the last changes I made to the file do not get saved.
The save dialogue pop-up does appear, and I do select YES--- I want to save
before closing--- but when I re-open the file (IDLE or vi) the changes are not
there... as though the save binding did not work, or like there was some timing
glitch that prevented the save somehow before the edit window closed down. The
error is not solid, in that, if the file is larger (significantly) then the
File --> Close (select Yes on the dialogue) does work... ??
The work around is to do either 1) run the module, or 2) explicitly click File
--> Save.
The alleged bug can be reproduced on both of my primary desk machines, Linux
systems, using IDLE on 2.6, 2.7, and 3.2/ These are the instructions for
reproducing this little snag:
1) Open a new edit window with File --> New Window
2) Enter the following code on the first two lines:
def testfunc():
return None
3) Click File --> Save ( testit.py )
4) Click File --> Close
5) Open the file with File --> Recent Files ( select testit.py )
6) Use the edit window to place these three lines above testfunc:
############################
# comment block
##############################
7) Click File --> Close
8) When the Save on Close dialogue appears select "Yes"
9) Re-open the file with File --> Recent Files ( select testit.py )
10) The comment block will not be there... didn't save.
Running on Ubuntu 9.10 (all updates)
Tk 8.5.x
reproduced on built-in 2.6
& compiled from sources... 2.7 & 3.2
kind regards,
m harris
