fatal error on exit

[codex]

Sometimes, when I close code::blocks 17.12, a fatal assertion error pop up.
How can I fix this?

You have to try to narrow down the problem.
As a first step it is best if you can make it reproduce every time.

Also when reporting a problem is a good idea to specify the OS you're running. I can see that it is some kind of windows, but I cannot guess it.

I'm currently running Windows 10 1809 x64, it usually happens when you close it using the taskbar.

EDIT:
Steps to reproduce the error:
1.Open some project
2.Close it with taskbar (right click and choose 'close this window')
It happens every time, I have it installed on another machine and raises same exception.

What plugins do you have enabled? Does it happen with a simple console project? Does it happen if you reset all your settings by renaming default.conf file?
Does it happen with a night build (do not use the last two versions, they are known to be buggy)?

Are you prepared to compile cb yourself and try to use a debugger to find out where the problem happens?

[codex]

This is a fresh installation of codeblocks-17.12mingw-setup and you can also have no projects open, just tested this.
And I don't know the process of compiling code::blocks myself.

Why can't you just close it? Why use task manager to end the program? I guess it wont even close proprerly that way, that's why you get the error.

Confirmed.

Source app.cpp is trying to get the editor manager.
There is a check for shutdown at the beginning of this function, but it obviously has not been set yet.
I don't see any way of knowing that this is entered for shutdown from the taskBar.

The error is caused by the consequences of this line:
        wxPostEvent(Manager::Get()->GetEditorManager(), evt);
which allows OnApplicationClose() to be invoked (thus freeing the Managers) before returning to OnApplicationActivated().

Changing the code to check for shutdown after the post seems to solve the problem:
        wxCommandEvent evt(wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED, idEditorManagerCheckFiles);
        wxPostEvent(Manager::Get()->GetEditorManager(), evt);
        if ( Manager::IsAppShuttingDown())
            return;

        // for some reason a mouse up event doesn't make it into scintilla (scintilla bug)
        // therefore the workaround is not to directly call the editorManager, but
        // take a detour through an event
        // the bug is when the file has been offered to reload, no matter what answer you
        // give the mouse is in a selecting mode, adding/removing things to it's selection as you
        // move it around
        // so : idEditorManagerCheckFiles, EditorManager::OnCheckForModifiedFiles just exist for this workaround
        wxCommandEvent evt(wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED, idEditorManagerCheckFiles);
        wxPostEvent(Manager::Get()->GetEditorManager(), evt);
        cbProjectManagerUI *prjManUI = m_Frame->GetProjectManagerUI();
