| Description: |
In some rare cases (race condition depending on
balloonhelp configuration and user mousemovements), the
procedure for destroying a balloonhelp interferes with
the procedure still building the display, causing
errors like:
bad window path name ".help_shell"
(procedure "DynamicHelp::_show_help" line 22)
invoked from within
"DynamicHelp::_show_help .bla.topf.tb0.bbox4.b1 329
198"
("after" script)
Hard to reproduce with a script, sorry.
A quick resolution to this is to check if the targeted
help window still exists in the ::_show_help procedure
(see attached diff file, it's a twoline patch).
