Sandro Martini commented on PIVOT-861:
--------------------------------------
Hi all, just committed (for now only in 2.0.x branch, and in trunk soon) the
workaround number 2 that should resolve the current issue.
In a few days I'll mark this as resolved, otherwise tell me (or be free to
reopen).
Note that maybe the same could be applied even to other classes, but we need
some dedicated test before doing other changes.
> Memory leak: Window icon ImageListenerList retains reference to closed
> windows, preventing garbage collection

> When a window or dialog is opened which has an icon, after it is closed it
> cannot be garbage collected because a reference is retained to it through the
> icon. Removing the icon resolves the issue.
> As far as I've investigated, the issue appears to the in the
> ImageListenerList which each Image contains. I've done a heapdump of my
> application and used the IBM HeapAnalyzer which shows this list containing a
> reference to the window/dialog through the ImageViewSkin, but I don't know
> the Pivot internals well enough to see where or how it should be released.
> I'll attach a simple test application to show the issue.
