Turtle output window disappears after done running

Question:
Recently, my turtle output window disappears after done running. However, I remember it used to be showing all the time after running? Is there a new setting???

Screen turn black after code done

We started seeing this same behavior beginning on Friday, September 22. When you create drawings with the turtle, the canvas disappears after the code finishes. Before, the canvas would remain visible. A workaround we’re using with our students is to simply add a final line to your code like this: input("Hit enter.") This just pauses the program at the end until you hit enter in the Console.

I have a problem with Python Turtle OUTPUT!

This problem has already been noticed. Here is a similar topic: Screen turn black after code done . Can this post help your problem:

just do input() to not make it black out

Hey @MiaoyaZhong1!

I’m not able to reproduce this issue. I created a Python (with Turtle) Repl and clicked the run button. After that, I was able to see the output window, and it didn’t disappear or go black:

If you’re still seeing issues, can you please send me the link to your Repl so I can take a look?

I asked him to add the line input() at the end so it stays open but before that line he was having the problem of it closing.

Here is another student I have that is having this difficulty

Thank you for the info!

I still haven’t been able to reproduce this, even when copying the same environment as the Repls you shared. Can you please have the student create a loom.com video and share the link here so I can see what the issue looks like and how it behaves?

It works in the project page, but when you are in coding page it will disappear even with the turtle templet.

I ran it once already. The output won’t stay on the screen but become black screen immediately. Currently, I ask the student to run in debugger mode or add input()by the end.

Can you send me the link to your Repl so I can take a look? Also, can you please try using a different browser, network, and/or device?

[MiaoyaZhong1]

It is just the default code. I didn’t change anything. I think it might be the browser issue for Chrome. I run Replit in Edge then it works. But most of my student use Chrome, I think that is why we have it.

Got it! Fixed the issue with screen.mainloop()
