You need to do  a callstack, of where you handle ctrl-f4.

But I think the bug is in your code. It is not necessarily synedit specific.

If SynEdit was focussed then SynEdit message handler may be called, the 
form key handler may run inside (inherited) that handler.

If you destroy synedit while one of it's methods is executed, then that 
is what you get.

Look at sourceEditor. you can somehow give synedit to the application 
for destruction OnIdle
