O.P. [SOLVED] ChooseFontW causes Messenger crash after closing window
Hello again!

It seems like I've stumbled on some kind of scripting problem once again. This time, it's much more problematic than [?] Weirdness. Evolved. or [?] Trying to get into the advanced stuff...

Here's what's happening:
  1. The user opens the script's window.
  2. The user clicks a button.
  3. The script calls ChooseFontW to open a font dialog.
    • If the result of this call is zero (meaning that the user clicked Cancel in the dialog), the script stops here.
    • If the result of this call is nonzero (meaning that the user clicked OK), the script continues.
  4. The script reads the selected font name from the result structure and sets the button text to this name.
  5. The user closes the script window.
  6. Messenger crashes.
There really is nothing I can do to prevent this crash. The structures are cleared, nothing else is done, it doesn't crash when the user clicks Cancel or doesn't click the "Choose a font" button at all... and I have no clue why or how this is happening.

Attached is a sample script which proves this behavior. Feel free to mess around with it, do whatever you want to test this.

Please, help me if you can! :)

System information:
Windows Vista Ultimate x64 (6.0.6000)
Windows Live Messenger 8.5.1018
Messenger Plus! Live 4.50.0.317 (private BETA received from Patchou to test new scripting methods)
