Hello WOrriors,

We're using WO 5.3.x (not 5.4.x)

I've run into a pickle where if I do an ec.deleteObject() and then call 
ec.saveChanges() I find that this fails during a "validateFor*Save*". 
Curious, indeed, because it should only call "validateFor*Delete*". When 
asking the EC to delete the Object, it breaks various mandatory 
relationships. This, in itself, is ok because the object is about to go 
"bye-bye" and is akin to setting a variable to null so you don't 
accidentally try to reference it anymore. Problem is, the object is 
mysteriously being dropped into the "updatedObjects" bucket during 
"processRecentChanges()"... this is what kicks off the validateForSave 
which of course fails because mandatory relationships are purposely 
broken.

Even more of interest is that this strange transfer from "deleted -> 
updated" status only happens in certain repeatable circumstances. It 
happens when you:

1) On _page A_ in _EC 1_ *edit a value in the desired EO and save* 
2) then go to a different _page B_ with _EC 2_ but pass the EO as a local 
object of the new EC
3) Attempt to delete and save the local EO in _EC 2_ on _page B_.

The above will happen every time. However, if I repeat those above steps 
but "do not edit the EO" in step 1, then everything goes according to plan 
and the object actually deletes.

This is all on my local machine in dev mode with DirectConnect. Nothing 
funny with multiple concurrent access. Strangely, if I step into 
ec.saveChanges() and then ec.processRecentChanges() and step a bit there 
then hit "continue" in the debugger... the marked for delete object 
*stays* in the delete bucket and deletes as desired. So odd! It's as if 
there is a concurrent process going on in processRecentChanges that if 
tripped at the right time, maybe a deferred fault (or something) gets 
fired and causes an object to move from the deleted -> updated bucket.

I've searched a bit on the listserv archives and have seen some notable 
people have had similar issues in the past. For example this posting 
between Lenny, Chuck, and Christian:

http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04553.html

I've tried the code fix to EOEditingContext offered here and found that it 
stops the Validation Error but doesn't actually delete the desired EO 
either. 

If anyone has any insight on this issue I'm all ears and appreciate your 
thoughts and concern. Anything like:

1) Is this a confirmed bug by Apple that might be fixed in WO 5.4 or at 
least has an open Radar ticket?

2) Is there possibly something similar that has bit you that you think I 
also might be doing wrong and overlooking?

3) Have other peoople used Lenny's fix and had any other thoughts or 
tweaks?

Thanks in advance,
-- Aaron
