[New-bugs-announce] [issue5219] IDLE: slowness, pauses enter long strings

[John DeLuca]

New submission from John DeLuca <jmjdeluca at comcast.net>:

In Interpreted Mode, when enter long strings, such as ofile.write (" 
this is a long string...") or print ("this is a long string..."), the 
keyboard entry is delayed - sometimes for 20+ seconds. If one completes 
the string (typing blindly as not text is visible) and keys the 
closing ')', or one moves the entire shell window, the missing text is 
dropped on the entry line and one can continue typing.
This occurs after about 25 characters of the string.
