Hi team, I have been working on FLEX-34230 (StageText skins prevents garbage collection of component with TextInputs and TextAreas) and it appears that GC is prevented by the internal pool of StageText used in StageText-based skins (precisely in old StyleableStageText and new ScrollableStageText).
Apparently, the purpose of this cache pool is to avoid creating a new StageText if one with the same characteristics is already in the pool (and returning that one). Does someone know why this pool has been introduced ? is it to improve performance because StageText allocation is slow ? I mean, maybe if the reason for it is not valid anymore, the easiest way to fix that would be simply to remove the pool, and create a new StageText everytime time one is needed. Maurice
