the bug in question is a window on Workspace A which has its state set to indicate it is on Workspace B. The assert catches this because this situation leads to a horribly corrupted memory. What happens is if you have said window focused, close it and no other window gets focus and then try to change workspaces Blackbox will store the dead, deallocated window as the "last focus" window. I can recreate this with Mozilla. The big problem is the time between the actual cause of the crash (closing the window) and the actual crash can be some time and the cause and effect get disassociated.
