Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Your report is good except for defining what you mean by crash and how you ran pickfile.py. (I assume 3.4 with tk 8.6 from your version selection.).
(There is also the comment-per-line style. I know that some nasty books and profs inflict this style on new programmers, but you will be better off to avoid it. Discuss on python-list if you want.) Win 7: Organize -> Folder and search options -> View tab - Show ... selection. I already had this selected, and have never had problem that I know of, using askopenfile daily from Idle. On Win 7, 3.4, tk 8.6, from command line or IDLE, I cannot reproduce the problem. The popup pop up within a second and there is no hourglass. The last maintenance release of 3.4 will be this month, so unless a problem is visible with post XP and 3.5, this should be closed when 3.4.4 is out. ---------- stage: -> test needed type: crash -> behavior _______________________________________ 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
