Because the actor relies on a timer to batch events together, we may hit a race condition whereby a reflow event is sent after the window has been closed.
This is particularly frequent when running tests.

Typically, at the end of an inspector mochitest-browser test, you might see this exception:

It bubbles right up to the NodeActor because the inspector listens for reflows to determine which nodes have had their visibility change.
The solution is to test for the existence of the tabActor's window in the batching loop.

This suppresses the intermittent stacktrace I've been seeing when running some of the inspector tests.

Ah, this should fix the exceptions at the end of test runs.

An xpcshell was failing with my previous patch. That's because in that test, I was mocking the TabActor and since the layout actor now relies on tabActor.attached, I needed to mock that up too.

So this new patch does just that.
