bpo-35771: Increase the hover_delay in IDLE's test_tooltip by ZackerySpytz · Pull Request #14926 · python/cpython
I would like a news entry. Others have probably experienced this, and if the problem recurs with a longer delay, I would like to know. I would also like a comment on the first function:
Fragile test -- see issue 35771.
Wanting to keep test_idle running time as short as possible, I dislike adding delay. About 60 tests now take about 10 seconds, an average of 180 milliseconds each. But it is hard to experiment without reproducible failure. Would reducing delays make failure more dependable?
