I removed C:\Users\Bruce\.idlerc and started over. I find that the problem
has to do with .idlerc\recent-files.lst.
If recent-files.lst contains the following, no problem:
C:\Users\Bruce\Desktop\test.py
But suppose recent-files.lst contains the following:
C:\Users\Bruce\Desktop\test.py
H:\HP_Documents\0PythonWork\AirplaneKinematics\accel2.py
In that case I get the crash shown below when I try to open test.py or for
that matter any file. The crash occurs as soon as I select the file.
Because utf-8 is specifically mentioned in the crash, I repeated the test
by typing the file name into recent-files.lst using Notepad++ rather than
copying it from an old VIDLE recent-files.lst. Still crashes.
All of my tests are consistent with the statement that if recent-files.lst
contains an existing file name starting with H:\, the crash happens. If
instead the file doesn't exist (e.g. H:\glop.py) IDLE works okay and
deletes the nonexistent file name from recent-files.lst.
