[issue37039] IDLE: Zoom Height Restore restores to default, not previous size

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

Andre Roberge reported on idle-dev that Restore Height has no effect for him with Python 3.7.3, 32 bit, on Windows 10.  Since it works for me on Win 10, 3.7.3-32 bit local debug build and 3.7.3-64 bit installed and ditto for 3.8, I am initially baffled.

Andre, the only way I know to debug this is for you to add debug prints to zoomheight.py and start IDLE in a console, to see the print output, with 'py -m idlelib' (add -3.7 if needed).  The first thing I can think of is 'print(geom)' and 'print(newgeom)' in zoom_height() after they are fetched and defined near the top and bottom.
