Thanks for that suggestion Martin - I hadn't thought of looking at parent window. I kind of think that is an implementation detail behind the scenes that we shouldn't have to worry about in our code, so will file a bug report about it as Corbin suggested, and hopefully it will either be made to return the same window controller as if the window hadn't been swapped out from under you, or the documentation changed to make it very clear of the existence of this issue (to me, the former solution would seem by far the best one).
