When a user sets FormatParagraph to anything other than 70,
test_idle.py has 4 failing tests:

test_comment_block (idlelib.idle_test.test_formatparagraph.FormatEventTest) ... FAIL
test_long_line (idlelib.idle_test.test_formatparagraph.FormatEventTest) ... FAIL
test_multiple_lines (idlelib.idle_test.test_formatparagraph.FormatEventTest) ... FAIL
test_short_line (idlelib.idle_test.test_formatparagraph.FormatEventTest) ... FAIL

The solution is to make these tests setup by:
  1) save the user's default configuration
  2) set the paragraph reformat width to 70
and tear-down by:
  1) restoring the user's default configuration

I noticed the same while working on #21139 and posted there a patch, 21139-34-fpe.diff, that adds a limit parameter to .format_paragraph_event. Test could then specify a width for each test without touching the user configuration. Different tests could use different widths. An explicit width is already used for testing the implementaton functions called by this method.
