[OpenLayers-Users] Popup can not be closed when zooming

[Ivan Grcic]

Hi Asle, this migh help also, especiall if you are using some strategy
like BBOX with wfs layer:

wfsLayer.events.register('loadstart', this, function (evt){
        if(selectedFeature && selectedFeature.popup){
            selectControls.unselect(PARAMS.selectedFeature);
           //selectControls.unselectAll();  <= this might also work
        }
}

i was banging my head with this one for some time, then i figured out
that features are NOT being unselected before they are removed from
the layer (BBOX has changed => new features are fetched)

that way the popup stays on map but that feature that the popup has
been opened on doesnt exist anymore, and there was no way to close the
popup.
registering loadstart event and unselecting feature there before the
strategy loads new features did the job!

hope it helps someone,

cheers
