[Mono-dev] Nullref when clearing TextBox that hasn't been shown yet

[Latif Khalifa]

Hi,

When trying to run Radegast (sources and binaries available at
http://code.google.com/p/radegast/downloads/list ) with mono-2.8 both
the release and current git master I get the following exception from
the WinForms:

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference

 at System.Windows.Forms.Document.LineTagToCharIndex
(System.Windows.Forms.Line line, Int32 pos) [0x00000] in <filename
