[Solved] VirtualStringTree DeleteSelectedNodes or EndUpdate error?

[IPguy]

I'm getting SIGGEGVs when I select some number of nodes and call vst.DeleteSelectedNodes.  See the gdb output, below (and the bug report I created for additional information.
http://code.google.com/p/virtual-treeview/issues/detail?id=200)

The error appears to be an "Access Violation" of some sort.

The number of selected nodes which results in the error is ~ 1500 (most times) and it occurs when I select / delete all 1500 or when I select / delete multiple groups of nodes that total 1500.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Update: 0.9.31-31848-2.5.1-win32-Vista, using vtv.4.8.7 from the SVN.
This has existed at least since I was using 0.9.29-27389 & vtv 4.8.6.

as an FYI - here is my code snippet.

 

Code: [Select]

VST.BeginUpdate;
try
   VST.DeleteSelectedNodes;
finally
   VST.Refresh;
   VST.EndUpdate;                    // error happens inside this stmt
end;

The correct place to report VTV bugs with Lazarus is http://bugs.freepascal.org/ section Lazarus-ccr

Luiz,
I agree with your comment and I have opened a VST/VTV ticket for another issue a while ago.  I will create a ticket for this issue shortly.

I was hoping to get to get some hints on debugging. 
The above was my first attempt at using gdb and I'm wanted to be sure I was collecting useful information and not doing anything stupid (like using .Terminate in OnClose) before I created the ticket.

I can confirm the bug, but is really hard to know whats going on ...

FYI - This bug was fixed in Lazarus-CCR, v1888.
