Ok, keep me posted. If that turns out to be wrong, I can change it in a lot of externals in SVN too.

Sounds like you are saying that calls to canvas_fixlinesfor()
shouldn't have calls to glist_getcanvas() in them.  It seems not very
straightforward, for example, the iemguis included in Pd-vanilla have
this:

canvas_fixlinesfor(glist_getcanvas(x->x_gui.x_glist), (t_text*)x);

I think glist_getcanvas() is only appropriate when getting or changing
properties that are inherited from the containing canvas (whether
visible
or not, for example) -- and many canvas_whatever(canvas, object) or
glist_whatever(canvas, object) calls assume tha the oject is indeed
in that
glist itself (glist is synonym for canvas) and will crash if not.

I've noticed that in GUI objects, its quite common to call the
canvas_* functions using glist_getcanvas().  I also just found out
that this causes a crash in [envgen] when this is done for
canvas_deletelinesfor().  See bug:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2842897&group_id=55736&atid=478070

So it seems to me that glist_getcanvas() should not be called on the
glist before sending it to one of these canvas functions.  I was
wondering if this is kind of a blanket rule, and we should be
removing
the glist_getcanvas() calls in GUI objects.  For example:

unauthorized/cooled~/cooled~.c:
canvas_deletelinesfor( glist_getcanvas(glist), (t_text *)z);
unauthorized/cooled~/cooled~.c:
canvas_fixlinesfor( glist_getcanvas( x->x_glist ), (t_text*)x );

In ggee/gui/w_envgen.h, I fixed the crasher by replacing:

 canvas_deletelinesfor(glist_getcanvas(glist), x);

with this:

 canvas_deletelinesfor(glist, x);
