There is no horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the IDLE editor window.
When a program line exceeds the window area, the window has to be widened, or text has to be manually selected beyond the window to see or edit that portion of the line.
No major problem, just a minor inconvenience.
Even with this bug, IDLE is still a great editor.
Thank you.

Adding a horizontal scroll bar is relatively easy. This has already been done with the Horizontal.py extension as part of a separate project called IdleX. See http://idlex.sourceforge.net/extensions.html

@Terry, perhaps this should be added as an enhancement to IDLE?
