    When I click the button, I see a traceback.

    Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/lubuntu2/cpython/Lib/tkinter/__init__.py", line 1885, in __call__
    return self.func(*args)
  File "/home/lubuntu2/cpython/Lib/idlelib/configdialog.py", line 212, in help
    view_text(self, title='Help for IDLE preferences',
TypeError: view_text() got an unexpected keyword argument 'text'

    It appears that this bug was introduced in bpo-37628 / 3221a63.
