Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/3908

State: closed
Merged: Yes

Summary of the Pull Request

An asynchronous event handler capturing raw this in TermControl was causing an exception to be thrown when a scroll update event occurred after closing the active tab. This PR replaces all non-auto_revoke lambda captures in TermControl to capture (and validate) a winrt::weak_ref instead of using raw this.

PR Checklist

  • Closes Bug Report- It disappear ! (#2947)
  • CLA signed. If not, go over here and sign the CLA
  • Tests added/passed
  • Requires documentation to be updated
  • I've discussed this with core contributors already. If not checked, I'm ready to accept this work might be rejected in favor of a different grand plan. Issue number where discussion took place: #2947

Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

TermControl is already a WinRT type so no changes were required to enable the winrt::weak_ref functionality. There was only one strange change I had to make. In the destructor's helper function Close, I had to remove two calls to Stop which were throwing under some circumstances. Fortunately, these calls don't appear to be critical, but definitely a spot to look into when reviewing this PR.

Beyond scrolling, any anomalous crash related to the following functionality while closing a tab or WT may be fixed by this PR:

  • Settings updating
  • Changing background color

Validation Steps Performed

Before these changes I was able to consistently repro the issue in #2947. Now, I can no longer repro the issue.
