Why does Tkinter kill ability to highlight text?

172 Views Asked by At

I'm running ubuntu11.04, and python3 with tkinter. I've yet to check on a windows config, but whenever I have a mainloop() running and a root window open with tkinter, I can't highlight text in text edit/ gui manager stuff. It doesn't leave me helpless, but copy/paste is a fairly integral part of my efficiency when navigating and coding. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone know a fix?

-Cheers, Chris

This sounds like a bug in whatever window manager you are using and/or in that specific version of ubuntu. This is a problem that hasn't been reported on any other platform, or on any other versions of linux.
