I noticed that fl_deactivate_form() does not deactivate
a form if it is not currently shown, i.e.
fl_deactivate_form(...);
fl_show_form(...);
--> the form appears active
fl_show_form(...);
fl_deactivate_form(...);
--> the form appears inactive.
I do not like the fact that fl_deactivate_form(...)
requires that form to be shown in order to work.
Is that documented ? Is that done on purpose ?
Deactivating a form after showing it can (maybe?) create a short
race condition, i.e. the form may be active for a short time
before it is deactivated.
I would prefer to say that a form is active/inactive
independently from whether the form is shown
or not.
Does anyone agree with me ?
