New submission from alex wieder: Hi,
This is my first bug report, so please be gentle if I don't stick to protocol correctly. I'm also tired from spending about 8 hours tracking down this problem. OS Affected: XP SP3 (maybe others as well, and I'm aware that python doesn't support xp anymore, but I have plenty of clients still on it). I suggest that you test this in more recent Windows versions as well. To reproduce: - Enable "Show Pop-up description for folder and desktop items" in Explorer->Tools->Folder Options->View. - Create a small python script that opens the askopenfilename dialog. - Open any local folder. - Hover the mouse over some files and wait for the pointer to turn into an hourglass as the system tries to gather information for the pop-up for that file. (pdf's are ideal for this as it takes a few seconds for the pop-up to appear.) - Once the pointer's an hourglass, double click on the file. Workaround: - Disable "Show Pop-up description for folder and desktop items" in Explorer->Tools->Folder Options->View and the problem goes away. ---------- components: Tkinter, Windows files: pickfile.py messages: 252248 nosy: alexwieder, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: askopenfilename crashes on XP with "Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items" on type: crash versions: Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file40669/pickfile.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25309> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
