Ned Deily added the comment: Unfortunately, I can reproduce it, or at least odd behavior when run from an IDLE.app edit window on with 3.9.0 on macOS 10.15. By observing the macOS Dock while running this, it looks like a second Python app instance is created while running this. We have seen

Ronald Oussoren added the comment: I cannot reproduce this issue with Python 3.9 (Python.org installer). Both with "Run Module" and in the interactive shell (both in IDLE) the window will close properly. In both cases the window it too small to show the minimise and maximise buttons (as

Sam Yeager added the comment: It's almost certainly only found on OSX. I'm currently taking a Python class of approximately 150 students, and at least two of us independently found this issue on our respective Macs. IDLE and Python are the same version (v3.4.4). The info window lists Tk as

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I was running from IDLE when I said no problem on Windows, so this is OSX specific. Are you running same version of python (splash message) and tcl/tk? (on IDLE, Help => About IDLE). Does Python on OSX have equivalent of pythonw.exe? If you start IDLE at

Ned Deily added the comment: Also note that installing ActiveTcl 8.6.x has no effect if the tkinter in use was linked with an 8.5 version of Tcl/Tk, as the one you are using apparently was. Make sure you have installed the latest version of ActiveTcl 8.5.x and try again. --
