I'm not positive, as I haven't seen your code, but I would guess that you are not setting your widget pointers to NULL after deleting them. On type change, it deletes and immediately reassigns new values, so the next delete is successful. However, when you close the window completely, only the deletes happen, and you are left with a bunch of pointers to freed memory. Then, upon type selection, you try to delete them again, accessing the freed memory, causing a segv. So, you probably just need to set them to NULL after delete. Again, just a guess :) -- rephorm > Second I'd like to point out that imenu doesn't return EWL_MENU_ITEM > correctly.
