[issue6864] IDLE 2.6.1 locks up on Mac OS 10.6

The bug with the edit menu sounds like the same issues I noted in 
http://bugs.python.org/issue6463. I think it was related to something in 
Tk-Cocoa 8.5, which was resolved in a later build of Tk, and which is why 
I closed the bug. The build of Tk-Cocoa that ships with Snow Leopard may 
have preceded the bug fix (there has been a lot of activity on the Tk-
Cocoa front in recent weeks). If that's the case, I doubt a fix will be 
available unless Apple updates its core Tk libraries. The best workaround 
might be to install an updated build from the source 
http://github.com/das/tcltk/tree/de-carbon-8-5 into /Library/Frameworks.
