crash when resizing DIRECT Tk window

[Bryson]

Interacting with (moving or resizing) the Tkinter window opened by DIRECT yields the following error:

and in the console it shows:

Fatal Python error: PyEval_RestoreThread: NULL tstate

This occurs with every tkinter window I've used in panda3d.

First off... YOU actually got the in-game editor working? That's actually pretty cool. I don't know what causes this issue but you might need to make the repo public for testing or find a better log. It also could be just your PC but i congratulate you for being the first i know of to get it working. Good job heheh.

I assume by the "in-game editor" you mean the DIRECT tools?

Please attach a small sample program that opens the direct tools and crashes in the way you described, and state which version of Panda is used to produce this crash.

The in-game editor was used by the Toontown Online staff to edit the levels by the things in otp.level. But you should know that. But if it's DIRECT Tools that opens this it's a entirely new story.

And also for re-producing it. I'll work and see if i can. If so i'll post the sample here.

I already managed to reproduce it. Just open the DIRECT tools (which is what is shown in the screenshot) eg. using the place() method on any NodePath and try to resize the window, and it will crash in PyEval_RestoreThread.

The crash seems to happen somewhere in the window event loop, but I haven't dug very deep yet.

Ok i can confirm this does happen. Opening the GUI and moving it causes the freaky crash. But it is probably exclusive to the level editor because of a kink in the code somewhere.

Ah ok. Yeah it's weird. I don't know exactly why it happens. It's pretty weird. So it's a issue with the DIRECT tools in general. I wonder what causes it.
