When selecting from menu: File --> Recent Files the 'Recent Files' dropdown list undocks from the IDLE gui / File dropdown list. Even after selecting a past file, it remains open until closed manually. Ubuntu LUCID amd64 IDLE 2.6.5 TK version 8.5 All installed using Ubuntu supported PPA (Synaptic) After closing 'Recent Files' subwindow, problem no longer persists until IDLE is terminated and restarted. |

Could you try with IDLE 2.7/3.2? |

IDLE has tear-off menus. From Help/IDLE Help: "Click on the dotted line at the top of a menu to "tear it off": a separate window containing the menu is created." This is a feature, not a bug. On 3.2.2, Win7, the Recent Files sub-menu cannot be torn off unless and until the File menu is torn off. |

Should tear-off menus still be a feature? This relates to the #13504 meta-issue, in particular entry "4) ANNOYANCE: Get rid of the detachable menus feature.." Attached is patch against 3.3a0 to disable tear-off menus. (It also makes modifications to Mac-specific code, but I can't test it since I don't have a Mac.) |
