Fix crash when closing a window with `Alt+F4` in multi-win Flutter on Windows by hbatagelo · Pull Request #161375 · flutter/flutter

hbatagelo · 2025-01-09T12:57:16Z

Reopened from flutter-team-archive/engine#56501.

As mentioned in #158450, the crash occurs because a destroyed object may be accessed if the window and view have already been destroyed by the time KeyEventCallback is called. This issue is not limited to the Alt+F4 system key; it may also occur if the window is closed using other key presses, such as pressing Enter after navigating to a dialog's "Close" button.

This PR proposes a fix that checks whether the view ID is still valid when the callback is invoked. If the view is invalid, the event is skipped for that view.

A unit test has been added to assert that the KeyEventCallback is invoked when the associated view is valid and not invoked when the view is destroyed.

Thank you for working on this. While the current fix works, I doubt if it's the best way to check views in this method, because the entire block doesn't seem to reference views at all:

        if (!handled) {
          engine_->text_input_plugin()->KeyboardHook(
              key, scancode, action, character, extended, was_down);
        }
        callback(handled);

It doesn't mention this either (and we can probably make it clearer by replacing = with explicit captures.

I suspect the crash happens inside callback, which is another callback nesting another callback. What I want to say is, I think it might be better to find out where actually in these callbacks that a view is used, and guard that usage instead. What do you think?

… only

hbatagelo · 2025-01-13T13:19:51Z

Thanks for the review. I've replaced the capture default = with explicit captures and moved the if (engine->view(view_id)) check to guard callback only, as this is where the view is actually used.

I couldn't move the check further into the callback because the callback is a lambda expression created in KeyboardManager, which doesn't keep a reference to the engine. The lambda ultimately calls a KeyboardManager member function as the final nested callback. KeyboardManager is owned by the FlutterWindow and may have already been destroyed by the time the callback is called.

dkwingsmt · 2025-01-13T20:58:55Z

I see, yeah it's definitely some oversight. I'll see if I can find a more elegant way later. But this one is a good fix. Thanks for you investigation!
