Recognise this pop-up?

Anyone recognise this small window which popped up at the same time as PSP 8 crashed on me. Or just before or just after. Could be unrelated but ...

It looks familiar but after much searching so far I can't place it.

That is a TKinter window. It comes when you run a script that uses Tkinter. Such as the paste text script you asked me to make that one time.

Thanks, that had me stumped!

Wiki's summary begins:

'Tkinter is a Python binding to the Tk GUI toolkit. It is the standard Python interface to the Tk GUI toolkit,[1] and is Python's de facto standard GUI.'

As you'll probably recall, I'm not a programmer, so that doesn't give me much of a clue as to what might have triggered its appearance, or the PSP8 crash. Are there any 'typical' causes in general? My own guess is that the Excel text I'd copied to the clipboard (for pasting by the script) was problematic,

Thanks again for your brilliant script. I've used it successfully many scores of times over the last week without a flaw. :)
