[Lazarus] exception when moving mouse over editor hint windows (since a few months)

[Bernd K.]

I am experiencing annoying Exceptions in the IDE (I believe its a
regression, I believe it started happening afer I saw some changes in
the svn log making it possible to click a link inside the hint window).

I am using GTK2, I have turbopower ipro design package installed to get
HTML formatted hints. It does not seem to happen without that.

When I hover the mouse over an identifier the yellow hint window will
pop up, inside is a clickable link to the source position, I move the
mouse over this link and a smaller black (theme color) hint will pop up
above the other hint and then when I quickly move the mouse away (must
be fast enough) then this will happen:

and also a modal message box notifying me about the exception. If I cick
OK I can continue working.

It seems it has to do with the both hint windows showing at the same
time (and maybe destroyed in the wrong order? Maybe a bug in turbopower,
not properly destroying its own hint before it is destroyed?), I can't
reproduce it when I do not touch the link inside, so it might be related
with this second hint window. But this is only a guess. Can anybody
reproduce this?

(this is quite annoying since I trigger it all the time accidentally
when moving the mouse around)
