[New-bugs-announce] [issue15348] IDLE - shell becomes unresponsive if debugger windows is closed while active.

[Roger Serwy]

New submission from Roger Serwy <roger.serwy at gmail.com>:

The IDLE shell does not respond to commands if the debugger window is closed by clicking "X". This is due to PyShell's "executing" flag not being reset.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Start IDLE with a shell.
2) Enable debugger.
3) Press enter in the shell. (activates the debugger)
4) Close the debugger by clicking "X".

The shell is no longer responsive to new commands. Selecting "Restart Shell" does not fix the problem either.
