Details

(Keywords: topembed-, Whiteboard: [whitebox])

There seem to be a large percentage of crashers that are related to the presshell being destroyed at unexpected times. One recent discovery was that the presshell was sometimes destroyed during Painting. The Paint suppression code seems to directly destroy the presshell using presshell->Destroy(), even though most every other place using refcounting. We need to rationalize the life cycle of the presshell to understand why these crashes ocurr.

I'm guessing this is no longer valid, since back in 2002, dbaron didn't know what this bug meant.
