I gave this a bit more testing in fluxbox with the 0.93b version of gambas. 
I'm still getting the same problem. I've had it happen in metacity when I 
tested in there too.

It seems to happen when the autocomplete window is opened off the right 
edge of the editor, for example when a long line of code is entered. When 
this happens gambas seems to get a little confused. From what I've been 
able to work out by running the gambas ide in itself is that it thinks 
that the autocomplete window isn't in use and drops the variables that the 
autocomplete events would use. However it doesn't actually close the 
autocomplete window. So what happens is that when an event is called that 
would use the variables, in this case $hEditor.Frozen from FCompletion 
line 338, it obviously doesn't exist any more and throws up an error 
saying so.

I have also noticed that since the updated version of gambas when this bug 
occurs it doesn't drop me straight back to the commandline anymore. It now 
gives me this gambas error first :

	This application has raised an unexpected error and must abort.
	[13] Null object.
	At: FCompletion.InsertItem.338

I hope this is of some help and that my rambling hasn't bored you for 
nothing ;)
