Terry J. Reedy added the comment:
I am quite aware that tk text widgets (and probably other widgets) have
line-length limitations. Which issue this duplicates depends on what action
you propose. #28840 proposes addressing limits in the docs. #1442493 is about
code changes.

New submission from Dan Snider:
Objects with a 500,000+ character __repr__ will cause the IDLE shell to hang
and thus lose any progress on open windows. 200,000 (on a decent system) seems
to be the tipping point where it can never recover.
