[issue39852] IDLE: Copy/Paste behaves like Cut/Paste

[Dave Liptack]

Dave Liptack  added the comment:

OS: Windows 10 Pro
Version: 1909
OS Build: 18363.657

Python 2.7.17 and 3.8.1 were installed from https://www.python.org/downloads/ 
using the Windows x86-64 executable installer (3.8.1) and Windows x86-64 MSI 
installer (2.7.17)

Both line numbers and code context are not present

To reproduce:
1) Position cursor at the start of a line of text
2) Type Shift+down arrow (to select line of text)
3) Type Ctrl+c
4) Type Alt+g (IDLE) or Ctrl+g (Notepad, Notepad++)
5) Enter line number (for example below line number = 2)
6) Type Enter
7) Type Ctrl+v


Example initial text:
# This is line 1

# additional line
# This is a line I wish to duplicate
# another additional line


Resulting text in IDLE:
# This is line 1
# This is a line I wish to duplicate

# additional line
# another additional line


Resulting text in Notepad and Notepad++:
# This is line 1
# This is a line I wish to duplicate

# additional line
# This is a line I wish to duplicate
# another additional line


My workaround in IDLE is to add a step between #6 and #7 above, where I mouse 
click at the desired paste location

[issue39852] IDLE: Copy/Paste behaves like Cut/Paste

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

The standard and expected behavior is that pasting *without* a selection 
inserts, pasting *with* a selection replaces.  Pasting with key, Edit menu, or 
context menu should be the same.  This is what I see and what I *think* you are 
describing.  If so, please close.  If not, please specify OS and version, how 
you installed Python, and more concretely what you did and whether line numbers 
or code context were present.

New submission from Dave Liptack :

Python 3.8.1
IDLE 3.8.1

When COPYing text in IDLE, right-click and PASTE behaves like CUT/PASTE

This also occurs with COPY -> Go to Line -> PASTE

This does not occur with COPY -> left-click -> PASTE
