Exactly there in the class description for NSDocument.

The second part is even worse, here closing the window and closing the document are mixed. This are two almost independend operations. A document may have multiple windows and may only close when the last one gets closed or sometimes not even then. Again I understand why this patch was intendend, but it tries to solve the problem the wrong way.
I looked at this again and found the real reason this doesn't work. I
put this patch in instead:

Wonderful that you found the true reason for the problem. One last question: Don't we need similar code in [NSWindowController setWindow:]? In your last change in that area (2002-11-02) you also changed both places.


I think I should start documenting why I did a change :-( I went back and read the original bug about this and realized why I took that line out before. However I think I am right in putting the line back in (and should do it in the other place as well). Some documentation here:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Documents/ Concepts/WindowClosingBehav.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000027

makes it clear that the window and controller should be released when it is closed.
