That's not good. It seems the automatic cleanup happens under the same conditions as the manual version, which means that while that problem is also fixed post-beta-2, it won't do what you need.

Unfortunately, I don't have any other ideas at the moment other than to suggest either looking for another way to get the information you're currently getting from the OnClipRendered event or looking for some other event that can reliably tell you when to hook and unhook the event so that you don't have it active all the time (which will tend to slow things down) and so that you don't have to disconnect it on shutdown (which, as we've seen, breaks things.)

What are you intending to use the event for?

As far as we know, it's just OnClipRendered and OnChildClipRendered. They both do something special on disconnect that other events don't do,

and it was that thing that was causing the problem.

For the sake of completeness, I'll also point out that scripts that don't use our ConnectEvent and ConnectObject methods to sink Window events are also at risk of causing this lockup, but I don't think there are a lot of those out there yet.

Ron,

Is this for all events?

For now, I suggest just removing the Disconnect inside of OnShutdown and letting the built-in failsafe handle disconnecting it for you. We've tracked down the problem and fixed it, so eventually you'll be able to disconnect the event on shutdown, but the fix didn't make it into beta 2.

Any help/thoughts apreciated.
