Window.open(owner) is prone to memory leak
------------------------------------------
Key: PIVOT-297
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-297
Project: Pivot
Issue Type: Bug
Components: wtk
Affects Versions: 1.3
Reporter: Todd Volkert
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 1.3.1
Window.open(owner:Window):void set up an implied association between the
window's owner and the open state. It implies that the owner will be cleared
when the window is closed, when that is not the case. Since ownership is a
bi-directional association, failing to clear the owner of a discarded window
will leak memory (the owner will maintain a reference to the owned [discarded]
window).
We should remove the open() signature that takes an owner and leave it up to
callers to call setOwner(), then open().
