Hello again,

here is another strange behaviour of RichView

I have a combobox control in the document, an I need to refresh document

contents if combobox value is changed.

But the TRichView.Clear method throws exception (access violation) because

(as I found out) RichView is an active component.

If I am not mistaken an attempt to free the active combobox causes this error.

here is a quite ugly workaround I used to eliminate the problem

  TCustomForm(RichViewDoc.Owner).ActiveControl := nil;

after this call the Clear method works ok,

but there must be another solution, isn't it?
