RE: [XaraXtreme-dev] File => Close crashes

["Gerry Iles" <GerryI@xxxxxxxx>]

Ahhh, yes... That explains why my fix appeared to fix it.  When I tested
it after the fix I wasn't in the text tool.

I don't think it has anything specifically to do with the call to
IsScreenCamView.  Rather I suspect that the messages that are supposed
to be sent around when views are closed are not happening properly.  I'm
pretty certain that the SELABOUTTOCHANGE message should get sent before
the Oil view has been deleted.

I suspect that there is some issue in the CCamView class caused either
by the differences between MFC and wxWidgets or by me simply missing
something when I consolidated the CCamView class hierarchy.

Sorry, that was nonsense. The problem is still there.

The crash is caused by the text tool trying to remove the blobs from 
the non-existing window in TextInfoBarOp::Message. When it gets a view 
change message it calls GetVisibleSpread() on the old view. I presume 
the IsScreenCamView() call that was removed (see the portnote in line 
2602) was meant to prevent the problem. Somehow we need a way to 
distinguish between a dead old view and a live old view. Apparently, 
testing oOldView against NULL does not do that.
