To solve your deallocation issue, you have to invoke the set accessor:

        self.quickEdit = [CALayer layer]; // either this...
        [self setQuickEdit: [CALayer layer]; // or this.

What you've done above is assign an autoreleased CALayer instance directly to 
the quickEdit ivar.  It is deallocated when the current runloop's autorelease 
pool is drained.


Using a pattern of a distinguishing name for ivar and its corresponding 
property would make this more apparent.  E.g.

        CALayer *myQuickEdit;
        @property(nonatomic, retain)CALayer * quickEdit; 
        // remember to use @synthesize quickEdit = myQuickEdit in the 
implementation file
 
        myQuickEdit = [CALayer layer];

Here, it's more apparent that you are diddling the ivar directly, and not 
invoking any of the property accessors that you declared.
