MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. On the Tools menu, click Options, click Debug, and in the Environment
  drop-down list box, select FoxPro Frame.

2. Dock the Watch window to the top or side of the desktop, and then close it.

3. Create a program named "Test, add the following code, and then run the
  program:

  *-- Code begins here.
  CLEAR ALL 
  _screen.NewObject('oLogo', 'logo')
  KEYBOARD '{alt+t}h'  && Open watch window.  SUSP, then DEBUG from CW crashes as well.)

  DEFINE CLASS logo AS image
  	oscr = _SCREEN

  	PROCEDURE oscr.Resize
  	ENDPROC
  ENDDEFINE
  *-- Code ends here.

To reproduce the problem with a Report Preview toolbar, follow these steps:

1. Close all dockable windows.

2. Run the following code from a program (.prg) file:

  *-- Code begins here.
  _screen.WindowState = 2

  SET RESOURCE ON
  CLEAR ALL 

  CREATE CURSOR c1 (f1 c(5))
  INSERT INTO c1 VALUES ('xxx')

  CREATE REPORT testxx from (DBF())
  REPORT FORM testxx PREVIEW 

  _screen.NewObject('oLogo', 'logo')
  FOR lni = 1 TO 100
     REPORT FORM testxx PREVIEW NOWAIT 
     RELEASE WINDOW 'Report Designer'
  ENDFOR 
  RETURN

  DEFINE CLASS logo AS image
  	oscr = _SCREEN

  	PROCEDURE oscr.Resize
  		?PROGRAM(), DATETIME()
  	ENDPROC
  ENDDEFINE
  *-- Code ends here.

3. When the first preview appears, dock the preview toolbar to the left side of
  the desktop and then close the preview. (The behavior may occur even if you
  do not first dock the toolbar.)

  The error appears on one of the next previews.
