I only see this with labels

This happens with all view objects.

  Correction, it happens with all, but only if we're in the object mode before 
the window is created.  Switching modes after is not a problem

SVN commit 518660 by arwalker:

BUG:123579 Ensure the _activeHandler is set for newly created windows so that view objects can be created.
