New submission from Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu>:
If one types 'int(' an int calltip is displayed. If one adds 'float(' then the float calltip is displayed instead. If one adds '"3.1")', the int calltip is restored. (Actually a new int calltip.) Finally, if one closes with ')', the int calltip is removed. If, after 'int(', one adds instead 'f(', where f has no accessible signature or docstring and hence no calltip, the int calltip is dropped with no replacement. When f is closed, the int calltip is not restored because open_calltip in def refresh_calltip_event(self, event): # Bound to ')'. if self.active_calltip and self.active_calltip.tipwindow: self.open_calltip(False) is not called because there is no existing calltip. This issue is about somehow having the int calltip after the f call. Possibilities. 1. Do not drop the int calltip when an inner call has none. 2. Give the inner call a fake calltip, something like "f(<unknown>". Again, revise open_calltip. 3. Drop the outer calltip and set a 'nested_call flag in open_calltip and test it with 'or' in refresh_calltip_event (and unset the flag -- conditionally?) to restore it. 4. Add a calltip stack and test it for not empty in refresh_calltip_event. Tal, any opinions on the desired behavior. I believe the #40511 revision should make any of the above, with 1 and 2 being easiest and safest. A problem with 3 and 4 is that the text cursor can be moved out of the call and the calltip closed without the call being completed with ')'. I want to add more tests first. ---------- assignee: terry.reedy components: IDLE messages: 380180 nosy: taleinat, terry.reedy priority: normal severity: normal stage: test needed status: open title: IDLE: Restore calltip when needed type: behavior versions: Python 3.10 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42239> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
