Thanks - I see why the crash but ... I think this is rather a bug in NSView -dealloc. NSView -dealloc should not only release the subview array; because that does not necessarily dealloc all of the subviews, it should remove all the subviews from the superview first ! At least, it should clear out the pointer to self in the subviews (which it has itself set up), since that will be invalid after he deallocated himself. I think it is basically an ingenuity of NSView -dealloc which is assuming that releasing the subviews will deallocate them ... which is not necessarily true. The case of the window shared text field editor is just a special case of this more general behaviour - a subview which is released but not deallocated when the superview is deallocated. The superview should make sure the subview is left in a consistent usable state (and not containing pointers to deallocated objects!).

I see what you mean but I didn't have time to build a testcase - if you have a testcase it would be appreciated. :-) _______________________________________________ Bug-gnustep mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnustep
