[jira] [Reopened] (FLEX-34727) ArrayList dispatches a CollectionEvent with an invalid "items" array after removeAll()

["Chris Martin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Chris Martin reopened FLEX-34727:
---------------------------------

Yep it will. Great catch. I originally had a check there for if the event was the "refresh" or "reset" kind and then bypass the add.  I'll revert and re-apply the original patch idea tonight after dinner.

Thanks again and great catch, Tamás!

>    Affects Versions: Apache Flex 4.13.0
>         Environment: Mac OS X 10.9; very likely to affect other operating systems as well

> Invoking {{removeAll()}} on an {{ArrayList}} dispatches a {{CollectionEvent}} with kind = {{CollectionEvent.RESET}}. According to the documentation of the {{items}} property of {{CollectionEvent}},
> {quote}
> When the kind is CollectionEventKind.REFRESH or CollectionEventKind.RESET, this array has zero length.
> {quote}
> The event dispatched from the {{ArrayList}} contains a single {{null}} item instead, which contradicts the documentation.
> The issue can easily be fixed by updating {{ArrayList#internalDispatchEvent()}} to treat {{RESET}} and {{REFRESH}} events specially so the {{items}} array of the event is never updated in these cases.
