Description
I'm trying to call a rust window in a subfunction and have it close when then function finishes. However, the window is not closing.
I've scoped this error to it's own repo.
I have found a work around by calling an explicit call to the winapi::um::winuser::DestroyWindow, however it seems like this should be being handled by the underlying calls to window drop.
I had tried chasing this down in with glium on this thread, and they pointed me here

Research direction
Start by running the linked egui_glium_pure_window_not_closing reproduction and compare its behavior with the window-drop path in winit on Windows. Trace why the window remains open after the subfunction returns; done means the window closes without an explicit winapi::um::winuser::DestroyWindow call.
