Mihai Chira commented on FLEX-35321:
------------------------------------

Thank you for your thoughts, Alex. Indeed, it would be quite
complicated to remove component trees from the
{{updateCompleteQueue}}. But actually the bug (seems to me that it) is
fixable in a simpler way: just checking for a {{nestLevel}} different
from 0 before setting the component's {{initialized}} flag to
{{true}}. The bug's unit test passes with these changes, and I've just
done a smoke test of our (large) application with these
{{LayoutManager}} changes. Please see the patch that I've attached and
let me know if you anticipate any problems. In the meantime I'll add a
couple more unit test functions for some scenarios issues that I can
anticipate. Thanks!

>
> *Scenario A*: during an object's validation cycle some code resulting from {{validateSize()}}, {{validateProperties()}} or {{validateDisplayList()}} results in the object's removal from stage.
> *Scenario B*: a user performs an action whose effect is the removal of a component, exactly when that component is being validated in phases ({{LayoutManager.usePhasedInstantiation == true}}, which is to say, in the span of two-three frames.
> (For the unit test that models this scenario.)
> ----
> *Expected behaviour*: {{LayoutManager}} detects the object's removal from stage, stops validating it, and never sets its {{initialized}} flag to {{true}}.
> *Actual behaviour*: {{LayoutManager}} does not detect the object's removal from stage, continues validating it, and ends up setting the object's {{initialized}} flag to {{true}}.
> *Unit test*: {{LayoutManager_FLEX_35321_Tests}}.
