I am trying to perform remove overlap on a copy of a glyph, and get an error. Remove overlap works fine on normal glyphs, though.

Is this a bug, or is there a reason that parentless glyph copies can’t remove overlap?

For example:
```
g = CurrentGlyph()
gCopy = g.copy()
print g, gCopy              #to show these are not None
g.removeOverlap()        # works okay
gCopy.removeOverlap()
```
Output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 5, in
File “lib/fontObjects/robofabWrapper.pyc”, line 2128, in removeOverlap
File “lib/tools/removeOverlap.pyc”, line 35, in removeOverlap
File “lib/fontObjects/doodleBaseGlyph.pyc”, line 141, in _get_segmentType
AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘segmentType’

Thanks!

ah typo bug, thanks for posting

a temporarily workaround could be could be
```
g = CurrentGlyph()
## create a copy layer and copy the glyph to that layer 
gCopy = g.copyToLayer("copyLayer")

print g, gCopy #to show these are not None

print gCopy.getParent()
g.removeOverlap() # works okay
gCopy.removeOverlap()
```
