New submission from Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu>:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35397377/python-freezes-when-configuring-idle froze IDLE with a custom theme missing 'colours for the blinker and highlighting'. I reported some experiments there. Tracebacks might help, but Proposal 1: check theme before try to paint. All keys present? Replace missing with normal colors. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63137659/idle-crashing-when-i-press-configure-idle froze IDLE with a custom theme with a bad color "#00224". File "C:\Users\...\idlelib\configdialog.py", line 1279, in paint_theme_sample self.highlight_sample.tag_config(element, **colors) ... _tkinter.TclError: invalid color name "#00224" Proposal 2: wrap line in try-except, if error text matches, extract bad color, replace any occurrence of bad color with "#000000" (black) or "#FFFFFF" (white), report to user with suggestion to edit. Maybe save first. Should do within loop in case more errors. ---------- assignee: terry.reedy components: IDLE messages: 374558 nosy: terry.reedy priority: normal severity: normal stage: test needed status: open title: IDLE: Handle bad highlight tab color config type: behavior versions: Python 3.10 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41432> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
