I may file a bug tonight. I registered with my gmail address, which is blocked at work so I can't complete the registration.
I'd love to share code that highlights the problem, but am not sure what to share. It is literally as simple as removeAllChildren(); drawMap(); This is within my component which extends Canvas. The drawMap() function draws the new images, as determined by the data model. Those 2 lines of code are executed from 3 different events. It was working for 2 of them, and sporadically for the 3rd. Now it appears to be working more consistently on the one it wasn't working before. I have no idea what changed. If I uncover more information, I'll post it.
