Description Adrien Plazas 2014-08-15 17:46:11 UTC 
When destroying a secondary window, the application crashes.

The crash is caused by the destruction of this closure in Topbar.vala:
  window.notify["selection-mode"].connect (() => {
    page = window.selection_mode ?
           TopbarPage.SELECTION : page = TopbarPage.COLLECTION;
  });

The problem can be summed up this order of destruction: window => topbar => closure => window (ouch).

It maybe a Boxes bug (wrong ownership) or a Vala bug (wrong reference counting maybe?).

Just to be clear on the record, this bug is currently worked-around in Boxes.
Comment 2 Zeeshan Ali 2014-10-18 14:46:02 UTC 
Somehow this is not reproducible anymore. I guess it was some vala bug that has been resolved then?
