[issue33642] IDLE: Use variable number of lines in CodeContext

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Summary for users: Previously, Code Context displayed a fixed number of lines. Often, many were blank. Hence the default *numlines* to display was small, 3, to avoid having too many blank lines. However, 3 is often too small to display the complete contex

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I am leaving this open until the new behavior is documented, even though it might be part of another issue that includes other context changes. For this issue, I will leave what happens when unzooming unspecific. -- _

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: On Windows, I observe the following behaviors. 1. When Code Context is enabled on a windows still at its initial height, context lines are added to code lines to increase the window height. 2. When the window height is changed with a mouse, that becomes the

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: 2 quick thoughts. 1. I am not sure we can/should change the default, as it interacts with the recorded user changes for past versions. The default is that we never change defaults. (Having one user config for all Python/IDLE versions is a curse as well as
