[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Reopened: (RF-6027) ModalPanel: incomplete cleanup at destroy method

ModalPanel: incomplete cleanup at destroy method ------------------------------------------------ Key: RF-6027 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-6027 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.2.2 Environment: IE7 Reporter: Sergey Astakhov Assignee: Tsikhon Kuprevich Fix For: 3.3.1 Extracts from modalPanel.js: show(): ... if (this.options.autosized) { this.observerSize = window.setInterval(this.correctShadowSize.bindAsEventListener(this), 500); } ... hide(): ... if (this.options.autosized) { window.clearInterval(this.observerSize); } ... You are setting up timer listener when ModalPanel is displayed, and clear it when hiding. All works fine when show() is paired with hide(), but there is exist a possibilities when region with panel is replaced by ajax response, then on panel is called only the destroy() method, but not hide(). In this case timer is rest in memory and cause flickering of shadow of panel if you try to display the panel (replaced by ajax) again (and may cause memory leaks). As workaround I tried to include cleanup code in destroy() method: --- ModalPanel.prototype.originalModalDestroy = ModalPanel.prototype.destroy; ModalPanel.prototype.destroy = function(id, options) { if( this.shown && this.options.autosized ) { window.clearInterval(this.observerSize); } return this.originalModalDestroy(id, options); }; --- After this change the problems seems to gone away.
