Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property dismiss of null (alert.js)

See original GitHub issue

I keep getting random events where the error is:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'dismiss' of null

alert_bug

The error is coming from the Alert default module on Line 113, in alert.js:

	hide_alert: function(sender) {
		//Dismiss alert and remove from this.alerts
		this.alerts[sender.name].dismiss();  // <<========= LINE  113 !
		this.alerts[sender.name] = null;
		//Remove overlay
		var overlay = document.getElementById("overlay");
		overlay.parentNode.removeChild(overlay);
},

@MichMich
Does this have to be null or can it also be set to "" or something else? Any ideas how to fix or work around this?

I’m surprised nobody else has reported this issue, so I want to eliminate that it is a problem with my module.
