I'm not aware of an problems like that.  See my blog post on the profiler to 
make sure you're using it correctly.

I've seen some issues that the last component to have focus pins that component 
until focus goes elsewhere.

Subject: [flexcoders] GC Issues


I have been working using the profiler for the last several days
trying to resolve some serious memory issues with our application.

I am interested in hearing from others who have used the profiler and
if they are seeing the same issues as we are.

Our application is mainly structured as a series of TitleWindow's
that each contain a Module. The problem has been Modules that don't
get GC'd.

Of course we went after the obvious thing like making listener's use
weakReferences and generaly reviewing our code but when that didnt
resolve the problem we dug deeper.

What we noticed was that certain controls seemed to prevent the
Module from being GC'd.

In the end we tried a completely empty Module, just opening/closing
tags in mxml and then added simple tags without any attribute or
binding to complicate things.

So we got to several VBox/HBox/Form/FormItem/Label and everything is
fine, you close and the Module is GC'd.

But then the first "problem" control we hit was the TextArea. Add
that to the mix and the Module wont be GC'd, remove it and it does.

Same with DataGrid.

Same with any mxml component (even an empty mxml component)

We are pretty surprised that basic framework control are causing
problems, we expected our own to cause issues or our bad code but not
framework controls.

Anyone used the profiler and seen this sort of problem?

tks
