[jira] [Updated] (FLEX-33156) focusInHandler() in spark Scroller doesn't null check focusManager property before using

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33156?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Roland Zwaga updated FLEX-33156:
--------------------------------

    Description: 
the focusHandler() method wrongfully assumes that the focusManager is always a valid instance. When checking the focusManager property in UIComponent it is clear that in certain cases this property can return a null value.

So in some cases this can lead to an RTE. I have encountered this once in my current project but find it very hard to reproduce. Basically a Scroller instance that was displayed in a popup window gave this RTE after the popup was removed.

Reproducable or not, I believe the null check should be added seeing the fact that the focusManager property explicitly returns null in some cases.

I have attached a patch file which adds the null check.
