Patch committed in 8971b988e7d294159c943ed29ef82c4960debeb4. May fix this bug. Closing this ticket as advised.

I don't know if that's the same issue I was having; but it could well be helped by curing the same problem. Please feel free to push this, and close the bug. I'll reopen if further problems arise.

The attached patch makes sure that when a group window gets closed, its child windows are grouped under its own parent-group window (if any).

Can the bug be reliably reproduced if you follow these steps:

  • Create a group
  • Create several windows within the group
  • Kill the group window
  • Switch to one of the windows that belonged to the now deceased group window
  • Bring up the windowlist

If that does reproduce the bug, then I have a fix here. I will be attaching it here as soon as my network is less flaky.

I can't reproduce this reliably, but a couple of times screen has died when I kill a group window (even when it's an empty window, whose members I've killed).
