Summary: Status bar on OSX garbled

Initial Comment:
The way that OSX windows work there is always a resizing handle in the lower right hand corner of windows. The way that IDLE currently does the statusbar is:

|Ln: 13|Col: 4

This cause the Col number to be placed over the resizer.

Something along the lines of:

|Ln: 13|Col: 4|<spaces>

would probably ensure that the resizer is not overlayed.

Don't run OSX GUI applications outside of an application bundle, that is
unsupported behaviour as far as the OS is concerned. Python has a
workaround that makes it possible to do this, but that's mostly meant to be
used during development only.

If you want to open a file in idle from the command-line use  'open -a
IDLE somefile.py'.

I'm closing this bug as wont-fix because of this.

This is only reproducible when invoking IDLE from the Terminal. Invoking
IDLE from the Finder is not affected. Here is the broken code in question:

Line 299 EditorWindow.py
if macosxSupport.runningAsOSXApp():


This will always return False from the Terminal because IDLE.app is not in
sys.argv[0] (see macosxSupport.py line 9).

This is for IDLE 1.1.4 and I am using Python 2.4.4 on OSX Tiger.
