BUG: The test_range_editor_text.py freezes the due to a pop up error dialog

[pbrod]

A solution to this problem can be to add a show_error_dialog boolean attribute to the EditorFactory class in editor_factory.py, which can be checked before making the error popup dialog. Then in all unit testing the pop up dialog can be disabled.

@pbrod what platform were you seeing this on? I'm testing on Python 3.6 + Windows and I'm not seeing this happen. Can you also report the package versions in your environment?

[pbrod]

I tested on windows 10 using Python 3.8.5.
traits 6.4.0.dev1765 dev_0
traitsui 7.3.0.dev572 dev_0
pyface 7.4.0.dev412 dev_0

Did you test it using Wx backend? The error does not show using Qt because the RangeEditor always truncates the input to valid range.

There we go. I tested using Qt only. Thanks for the additional info.
