Justin Mclean commented on FLEX-34421:
--------------------------------------
If you've not already you may want to check enableSpelling:
// TODO: dangerous, is garbage collection going to clear this?
_UITable[comp]=new SpellUI(txt, lang);
_parentTable[txt] = comp;
_cacheDictTable[comp]=lang;
> SpellUI.as has memory leak by keeping pointers to text fields when
> disableSpelling() is called

> Key: FLEX-34421
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-34421
> Project: Apache Flex
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: No Component
> Affects Versions: Squiggly 1.0
> Reporter: Mihai Chira
> Assignee: Mihai Chira
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: squiggly
>
> Both versions of SpellUI.as (from AdobeSpellingUI and AdobeSpellingUIEx)
> store a reference to the "text model" of a component (a TextField or a
> RichEditableText instance) when spell checking is enabled ("_parentTable[txt]
> = comp"), but fail to remove it when spell checking is disabled. This way the
> components are prevented from being garbage collected.
> We should remove these references when spell checking is disabled.
