1. IDE puzzle: looking for ideas
Anyone?
I got the following from an IDE user who is also using the win32lib's 58.5+
on a Win98SE machine.
>> - I don't know why, but if I start IDE, a Window/Control of OTHER
>> program is destroyed! Sometimes the editor on my mail client,
>> sometimes the explorer window, sometimes the task bar (on the
>> bottom), a toolbar vanished, etc...
When asking for more information I received that this happens with no other
program that uses win32lib so it is definitely something in IDE.
I do have destroy statements but they all, as far as I remember, check
validId before the destroy statment and, of course, all have a control or
window ID.
--judith
Does anyone have an idea where I might start to find such a bug?

This font bug is a mistake I've made somewhere in win32lib. It happens a lot
less frequently in the latest version of win32lib but it is still hiding
somewhere. I'm still trying to tracl it down.

I'm no expert on this stuff, but it sounds a lot like a resource leak, and
windows is just dealing with it as best it can. Perhaps, somewhere,
something isn't being freed up.

But the font situation is more than likely a different issue than actual
controls missing from other applications isn't it?

Yeah, I guess so.
