That's exactly what I have found, and what I have done to solve the
"problem". I also agree with what you wrote about it making some
sense in that it might be nice for the event handler to know that
the window has changed, in case there's something that needs doing.
So, while the behavior is logical enough, it was a little bit of
a surprise and took me a while to figure out.

Thank you for your help on this.
