I came across a memory leak with textfields using non-embeddedd chars.
The issue occurs on Windows desktop with AIR 20 SDK and Flex 4.14.1.
The textfield I'm using is the spark Label (however, from a post on Stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23271354/as3-textfield-and-textformat-memory-leak-other-bitmap-me...), I would assume that this does also occur for Flash TextFields/Textfields based on FTE).
In Adobe Scout I do see a memory increase for "Bitmap" -> "Other Bitmap Memory" when I'm adding Labels with non-embedded chars.
When I remove the textfields, the memory will remain the same and not decrease as one would expect.
There is no situation where the memory will ever decrease - Garbage Collector System.gc() does also not work.
The renderMode in the app descriptor XML does affect this behaviour as the following:
- renderMode cpu:
Memory does never increase
- renderMode gpu:
Memory does always increase
- renderMode direct:
Memory does only increase when application is fullscreen (StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN)
-renderMode auto:
same as direct
