updated for version 7.3.306
Problem:    When closing a window there is a chance that deleting a scrollbar
            triggers a GUI resize, which uses the window while it is not in a
            valid state.
Solution:   Set the buffer pointer to NULL to be able to detect the invalid
            situation.  Fix a few places that used the buffer pointer
            incorrectly.
