Crash when accessing wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl.DropTarget.Data

[komoto48g]

Operating system: Windows 10
wxPython version & source: 4.1.1 (pypi)
Python version & source: 3.8.6

Description of the problem: This bug is the direct cause of the previously opened issue #1959
Accessing the Data of wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl.DropTarget property will crash, but other properties are no problem.
I will raise this as a new issue and close #1959.

Code Example (click to expand)

import wx
import wx.stc

app = wx.App()
frm = wx.Frame(None)
text = wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl(frm)
print("text.DropTarget =", text.DropTarget)
print("text.DropTarget.Data =", text.DropTarget.Data) # crash here
print("done")

Hmm. Possibly Windows-specific? I don't see on Linux. Does this happen on 4.0.7 for you also?

[komoto48g]

Thank you for checking this issue. This occurs also for wx 4.0.7 on Windows 10.
Seems like a Windows-specific DnD (shell extension) problem...

Can you get a stacktrace for the crash?

[komoto48g]

No, unfortunately.
The error occurs inside the built-in method DropTarget.GetData or Data.
EDIT
When launched using switch python -Xdev -Xtracemalloc, it shows the message as follows:

Windows fatal exception: access violation
