Description Andrew Walker 2008-03-10 21:58:16 UTC

Version:           1.4.0 (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
OS:                Linux

In the following code snippet:

 name="X Corr";
 if (Kst.windows[name]) Kst.windows[name].close();
 myWindow = new Window(name);
 myWindow.name=name;
 crossPowerPlot=new Plot(Kst.windows[1]);

it is not always the case that the plot is added to the window. If the last line is changed to:

 crossPowerPlot=new Plot(myWindow);

everything seems to work fine. Using crossPowerPlot=new Plot(Kst.windows[name]) causes the same
problems.

Comment 1 Andrew Walker 2008-03-10 22:00:15 UTC

The KMdiChildView::close() method ends up POSTing a KMdiViewCloseEvent to the application. As a result of this the window will be closed at some later time.
What we really want to do is close the window immediately to avoid race conditions, so we should SEND the message instead.
