There are some weird issues going on when fl_ask (&family) is being used. It is possible to make an application crash when fl_ask is used in callbacks.

I was able to track a crash down to a simple test case while debugging another str. It crashes on OSX, but may apply to others.

This is a nasty one.

1: window is shown, focus goes to Fl_Input
2: press ESC, default_atclose calls hide()
3: hide() fixes focus, calling FL_LEAVE
4: FL_LEAVE causes Fl_Input to generate its callback
5: now enter the fl_ask's innards, re-entering Fl::wait
6: move the mouse over the main window
7: motion event is delivered to the window, which has "i" set to 0 to avoid drawing
8: watch it die!

In general, it's true that FL_HIDE should _not_ draw to the window, however I think we must not remove the xid handler until all events have been dispatched. It is possible that, during recursive behavior, other events gets generated. I don't think checking shown() for every callback ever made is a good idea.

This basically requires to move "i = 0" from Fl.cxx:935 to somewhere after Fl.cxx:956:handle(FL_HIDE);. This would also remove the need of the invasive cursor handling stuff in this function, that could be moved in the respective widget's FL_HIDE code.

SVN reveals this code is pretty old, so I'm unsure about the requirement of having "i = 0;" set as soon. Any comment?

I'm attaching a patch that fixes the recursive events sent to dying windows on carbon. It seems that the default carbon handler already checked for this, but not the mouse/activation/wheel handler.

The patch fixes THIS issue, but I strongly suggest to revisit this behavior.

This bug was pushed up from 1.1 . Even though the patch was applied and fixes the immediate problem, a better, more general solution must be found. IMHO, xid=0 should not be done until required. However, an existing xid (and theassociated window) also means that more event can be received.

Anyway, this needs some review.

Is it still crashing in latest svn ?
I tried to reproduce the bug but didn't succeed under osx quartz.

I reviewed that one twice and didn't find any crash situation, following the mentioned test case, again.
