This is much clearer. To expand on what I said before, inserting *anything*, such as by hitting a key, replaces a selection. I verified that this is normal behavior, at least on Windows, with Notepad, Notepad++, and this Firefox entry box I am typing in. So either of your steps 6 or 7 delete the still selected line, after the goto. (And so a click is needed before 6 to stop the deletion.) I see the continued selection as the problem. Both Notepad and Notepad++ unselect any selection upon goto, the same as if one moved the cursor by clicking instead of goto. I will try adding text.selection_clear() to the goto code. ---------- stage: -> needs patch title: IDLE: Copy/Paste behaves like Cut/Paste -> IDLE: Goto should remove any selection versions: +Python 3.7, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39852> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
