Summary of the issue:
Previously, when we terminated IA2 support, we didn't clear the map containing install data (IA2InstallMap). This could cause problems when restarting NVDA if the dll didn't unload before the new copy of NVDA injected. In this case, the same instance of the dll would be used, including its global variables, which includes IA2InstallMap. This caused several problems:
Description of user facing changes:
Description of development approach:
Simply clear IA2InstallMap in IA2Support_inProcess_terminate. I also added comments to IA2Support_inProcess_initialize to explain why we can't simply treat the map already containing data as an error.
Testing strategy:
This issue is very difficult to reproduce reliably, so I ran a try build with this fix and asked several other users experiencing this problem to do the same.
Known issues with pull request:
None. Even if this turned out not to fix the problem, this is still more correct.
