Roger Serwy added the comment: There are many X11 applications that replace the selection with pasted text. GTK and Qt widgets behave that way. Here's a brief list: gedit (GTK), gummi (GTK), kate (Qt), texmaker (Qt).
Tkinter, for me, has become increasingly frustrating due to these subtle platform differences. (See #14146, #13582, and many more that deal with Tk on Mac.) For IDLE, I consider these behavior differences bugs. The attached patch "fixes" this issue. ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file30385/issue5124.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5124> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
