I don't know the full answer but noticed one thing that causes confusion.
Change your code to:
case menuEvent:
{ // Add this open brace
test a;
handled = true;
break;
} // add this close brace
Local variables defined inside a case statement I believe have scope to the
end of the switch statement if they are not inside curly braces. It is
possible that if your code goes to a case statement below menuEvent()
then the constructor might never get called but the destructor will!
(I am not sure about that part)
I do remember reading that if you are declaring variables in your
case statements, you had better put { } around the case statement
like above to avoid any problems like this.
