Some subcriptions to the stream VAs were left as-is when the panel was
destroyed. It's not as bad as it sounds because the VA subscriptions are
automatically dropped when an object is unreferenced. However, that
would at best happen on the next garbage collection. So it's only for a
short time after deleting the panel that the callbacks could happen, but
that would then show-up as wxPython errors accessing a destroyed widget.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The stream controller now stores the matching z-index setting in _zindex_se. It subscribes to max-projection changes only when the setting exists and logs a warning otherwise. Max-projection changes directly enable or disable the tracked control. Stream destruction removes z-index, z-position, max-projection, and spectrum projection subscriptions, deletes the mean spectrum projection, and clears _zindex_se.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8c716

The change improves stream-panel cleanup, but teardown can still leave a resolution callback attached or execute a queued callback against destroyed GUI state, while the z-index control may start in the wrong state. Resolve these issues before merging.

🟡 Changes recommended

The updated max-projection callback and destruction cleanup still risk wx errors/leaked references during teardown unless the callback is deletion-safe and _zindex_se is explicitly cleared.

Pull request overview

This PR hardens the GUI stream controller’s teardown path so that stream-related subscriptions (VAs/dataflows) are explicitly cancelled when a stream panel is destroyed, reducing the chance of wxPython callbacks hitting already-destroyed widgets.

Changes:

  • Ensures additional subscriptions are cancelled in _on_stream_panel_destroy() (notably spectrum projection callbacks and z-stack related VAs).
  • Tightens the max_projection subscription logic so it’s only attached when a corresponding z-index UI entry is found.
  • Simplifies _on_max_projection() to directly toggle the z-index control state.
File summaries
File Description
src/odemis/gui/cont/stream.py Adds explicit unsubscription/cleanup on stream panel destruction and adjusts z-index / max-projection wiring to avoid post-destroy callbacks.

751-751: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Unsubscribe the resolution callback in _unlink_resolution.

The destroy path calls _unlink_resolution, but Line [751] subscribes _on_resolution again. The controller therefore remains attached to the resolution VA after panel destruction. Replace this call with unsubscribe.

Proposed fix
-            if hasattr(self.stream, "spectrum_binning"):
-                self.stream.spectrum_binning.unsubscribe(self._update_resolution)
+            if hasattr(self.stream, "spectrum_binning"):
+                self.stream.spectrum_binning.unsubscribe(self._update_resolution)
         if self._resva:
-            self._resva.subscribe(self._on_resolution)
+            self._resva.unsubscribe(self._on_resolution)

Initialize the z-index control from the current projection state.

subscribe invokes the listener only when init=True. If stream.max_projection.value is already True, the z-index control remains enabled until the value changes. Pass init=True or invoke _on_max_projection after assigning _zindex_se.

Guard _on_max_projection against teardown.

call_in_wx_main queues callbacks with wx.CallAfter. _on_stream_panel_destroy unsubscribes the callback but does not cancel queued calls, then sets _zindex_se to None. A queued callback can therefore raise at self._zindex_se.value_ctrl. Return early when _zindex_se is None.
