hi all, I just wanted to reiterate Gregoire Dooms' observations. I also seem to notice freezing/hanging directly after typing quickly. It happened to me twice within 48 hours, yesterday typing arrow keys quickly, today while 'Alt-P'ing quickly to scroll through command history. I made sure before the hangs to apt-get update to latest IDLE and tk in case I got another IDLE freeze:
"apt-get update" on 05APR2005 (using .../idle-python2.3_2.3.5-2_all.deb) Setting up python2.3-tk (2.3.5-2) I am running gnome on Debian.
