GtkAboutDialog not working when press two times

Question

I am starting GtkAboutDialog from a menubar item. This is the function toggling the dialog:

def open_about(self, *args):
        x = about.run()
        if x == -4:
            # When pressing close;
            about.destroy()

If I click the menubar about item once, there is no problem, dialog opens and I can close it as you would expect. But if I click again, an empty window appears. It’s only available once.

(translate.py:31837): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 19:44:24.373: gtk_widget_show: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

Answer 1

Destroying the about window to close it caused it to be available only once.

about.destroy()

I should’ve hided it instead:

about.hide()
