Description Boris Shingarov CLA 2002-05-20 14:03:20 EDT 
ControlExample prints many warnings:

gdk_event_free: assertion `event != NULL' failed
Comment 1 Boris Shingarov CLA 2002-05-20 14:14:22 EDT 
The new code for getting event time (Widget.postEvent, Widget.sendEvent),
doesn't check for special cases.
Transferring to the code contributor for investigation.
P.S.:  I've talked to SSQ.  He believes the current code is wrong.
Comment 2 Boris Shingarov CLA 2002-05-21 01:14:20 EDT 
Commented out the new code.

Apparently, this bug was the cause of 16318, 16523, and 16525.
Comment 3 Boris Shingarov CLA 2002-05-21 10:53:57 EDT 
Also causes 16565.
Comment 4 Silenio Quarti CLA 2002-05-21 13:55:32 EDT 
The code should call gtk_get_current_event() instead of
gdk_event_get(). Or even better gtk_get_current_event_time().
