[issue2995] Idle, some Linuxes, cannot position Cursor by mouseclick

Guilherme Polo added the comment: Closing as won't fix since there is nothing to fix on Python side, not from what I have noticed at least. Mandriva 2009 and Sugar (and other places with this problem) should check how they got IDLE to act like that, and could try compiling python from source li

Guilherme Polo added the comment: Uhm, I have compiled python-trunk in this Mandriva 2009 now and it works! I didn't change tcl/tk version, just installed the dev packages in order to compile _tkinter. I still don't know how what kind of changes were done by Mandriva in order to achieve this pr

Guilherme Polo added the comment: Whoa, it went better than I expected. It failed on Mandriva just like it was mentioned, but I still haven't verified what is causing this problem. And while running IOBinding.py doesn't demonstrate the problem, running EditorWindow.py does. -- versions

Guilherme Polo added the comment: I'm downloading Mandriva 2009.0 to hopefully reproduce the problem, but I'm afraid it won't happen. Apparently people that have this issue also reproduce it in different platforms, someone said on http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/7661 that this occurs both on a olpc

Darrell added the comment: I'm using Mandriva 2009.0 and can confirm this problem. RMeyers suggested testing further by loading and running idlelibs/IOBinding.py. On my Linux system I find that the mouse clicks and selection works fine when running IOBinding.py. Being that this module appears t

Michiel Overtoom added the comment: I experience the same, on FreeBSD 7.0-REL, with tkinter compiled to use Tk8.5 instead of Tk8.4. Tkinter compiled for Tk8.4 doesn't have the problem. Moving the mouse over the text widget changes the cursor to the I-beam as expected, but click on text doesn't

Matthias Sommer added the comment: Retry is a bit difficult now, sinc I reverted back to Windows after getting quite some answers in some places, but none of them really helpful. It happend under Madriva Linux (and some other tested Linuxes). Now I'm using Gentoo (this is, IF I'm using Linux

[issue2995] Idle, some Linuxes, cannot position Cursor by mouseclick

New submission from Matthias Sommer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I'm used to be able to position the cursor by clicking on the desired position. When running Idle (1.2.2 with Python 2.5.2) under Mandriva Linux 2008 (or under Arch Linux 64 or i686 as well as FaunOS a Arch based live distro) this does not
