Description of the problem:
In the linked section, there is this sentence:
In this program, we call set_to_max with two rectangles r1 and r2. self is a mutable reference to r1 and other is a move of r2. After calling self.max(other), the max method consumes ownership of both rectangles. When max returns, Rust deallocates both strings "r1" and "r2" in the heap. Notice the problem: at the location L2, *self is supposed to be readable and writable. However, (*self).name (actually r1.name) has been deallocated.
Actually at L2, shouldn't *self and other be dropped at the end of the Rectangle.max function? In the diagram, L2 shows that r1 is intact, just that the name is undefined.
Suggested fix:
Grey out r1 too.
