[New-bugs-announce] [issue25125] "Edit with IDLE" does not work for shortcuts

[Thijs van Dien]

New submission from Thijs van Dien:

Right clicking a Python file shows "Edit with IDLE" in the context menu, then offering a next menu where one can choose which particular version of IDLE should be used. This works fine. Whenever a shortcut is created to a Python file, the same context menu is shown, but clicking for example "Edit with IDLE 3.5 (32-bit)" does not seem to do anything. This is probably related to a change in the command used to launch IDLE with the file to be edited.

Tested on a fresh install of Windows 7 SP1 X86 and AMD64, with Python 3.5.0 X86.
