Bug report

Bug description:

To varying degrees, this affects the 3.12, 3.13, and main branches. Other branches are also probably affected but I haven't tested them. They aren't showstoppers, but they are annoying.

  1. make test breaks the terminal. All input is hidden until you run the reset command.
  2. Tcl/Tk tests hijack keyboard input. This is doesn't seem to affect 3.12, moderately affects 3.13, and really breaks on main. Essentially the tests pop up tons of windows, lots of stuff happens in those windows, and while that test is running, the desktop is largely unusable. You can get some mouse events through, but no keyboard events. It's especially bad with main - you basically can't get anything done until the tests complete.

CPython versions tested on:
