The next step is to chase all 9 references to see if they are circular (eventually end up back at Panel_A). I'd next check the itemEditor itself to make sure nobody is referencing it.
When the player hangs on to something, if you put focus somewhere else and start typing, it should release that thing it was holding onto.

As soon as I type in TextInput field in the pop-up, pop-up is not GCd after closing. --- In [email protected]<mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>, Alex Harui <aha...@...> wrote: > > What does the profiler show?
