Summary: color highlighting not working on EDIT windows

Initial Comment:
ON idle 1.0/python 2.3/Tk 8.4:



When starting IDLE "normally" (ie: with Shell window),

and using File->New Window (Ctrl-N) to get a new Edit

window, syntax higlihting is off until the contents of

the file are saved with a .py extension.



BUT, when starting IDLE after configuring it to start

with a EDIT window, syntax highlighting is ON for that

first window (although not for any other new Edit windows)



The behaviour happens both on IDLE as shipped with the

python.org 2.3 installer and with cygwin's idle:

(idle 1.0, Python 2.3 (#1, Aug  5 2003, 09:49:11)

[GCC 3.2 20020927 (prerelease)] on cygwin) - started

with -n switch to avoid the "missing menus" bug on cygwin)



On idle 0.8 (as shipped with ActiveState ActivePython

2.2.2 Build 224) syntax highlighting is ON in edit

("new") windows.
