There are tons of cases where we capture "this" in protectedThis, but then use "this" relying on the protection indirectly. Why is it important to change this one? I see no reason to make this change, but to leave the code two lines later using this to null out m_presentingWindowDidDeminiaturizeObserver.

I like the idea of always using protectedThis, but I would do this and not even capture this, and even then, I am not sure we need to make a change. It’s a repeating pattern in a lot of different code in WebKit.

Thanks for pointing it out. I was confused as well. I have received a crash report indicating Line 317 could crash, and therefore this is the most reasonable patch I could come out with. Now after reading other crash logs, it turns out that those crashed at a different place which actually makes sense. Will upload another patch.

That's one of the reasons why it's better to put the symptom/motivation into radar title, not a description of what change is being made.
