However, this may in turn trigger the ModeChanged autocommand, which could potentially free the wp pointer which was valid before now became stale and points to now freed memory. So before calling win_enter(), let's verify one more time, that the wp pointer still points to a valid window structure. Reported by @henices, thanks!
