Subject: IDLE issue--beeping and IDLE hangs If the window looks something like this: 



>>>(cursor is here)

for x in range[w]: 



and you hit return, IDLE will stop responding, but beep continually until the computer is restarted. This is in Windows 2000. I'm not sure whether the cursor is before or after the invisible space after the ">>>"; the for statement is on the line AFTER the >>>. 



Don't know why the student used square braces either. ------- End of Forwarded Message

I know it's very minor, but I believe it might point to some
unsound code somewhere deep in the bowels of undo.
Definitely low priority.

I can reproduce the beep on just enter on linux. Why not
consider it a feature, reminding you that pressing enter for
nothing in the shell is useless?

It seems to happen because of something in undo-delegator,
if it actually a serious problem for anyone I'll look into
it further...

My apologies. I can't reproduced the described behavior
either. What's still broken is that if you press Return at
the >>> prompt in the Shell window without entering a
command, you get a beep and a new >>> prompt. I could do
without the beep (the new >>>  prompt is expected. :-)

Do you want a separate bug report for that?

It still beeps for me on Linux, with the latest idlefork
checkout, using Python 2.1.1.

I could not reproduce the error on the latest CVS checkout 
on Win98, using Python 2.1. If any one else still 
experiences the problem, please let me know, or I'll 
categorise it as being "not reproducible".
