Have the debugger open, stopped on a breakpoint, and save the open file. The whole thing will bomb after the save finishes. Changes are not lost, but I have to reopen IDLE and lose history and breakpoints.

What operating system are you using? Which python 3.2 are you using (i.e. a particular installer downloaded from python.org, built from source, etc)? If known, which version of Tcl/Tk are you using?

With 3.2.3 (on OS X), if I open a new edit window, enter a few files, save the file, set a breakpoint on a line, then save the file again (with or without having debug on), the following exception occurs but IDLE keeps running:
Exception in Tkinter callback

In a quick attempt, I was not able to produce the same exception with 3.3.0rc3.

This was fixed in issue9803, but after the 3.2.3 release. I'm closing this issue as a duplicate.
