None that I and google could find. Close idle and remove (or rename) the 
.idlerc directory in your home folder, and then start Idle again. 

If the problem persists it is very unlikely that it is configuration-
related. In that case I suggest that you file a bug report yourself or amend 
your observations to the existing one.
