833429 - Document chrome://browser/content/devtools/framework/toolbox.xul is kept alive even if devtools aren't visible

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(DevTools :: General, defect)

Description

[Olli Pettay [:smaug][[e-mail]]]

0xffffffff9dd38560 [rc=9] root FragmentOrElement (XUL) toolbar class='hud-console-filter-toolbar devtools-toolbar' chrome://browser/content/devtools/webconsole.xul
and
0xffffffff9dbd1f60 [rc=7] root FragmentOrElement (XUL) menupopup id='output-contextmenu' chrome://browser/content/devtools/webconsole.xul
seem to be the roots for the subgraph which keeps the whole 
chrome://browser/content/devtools/framework/toolbox.xul document alive.

Haven't tried to reproduce this yet.

Attachment: about:memory

I can't reproduce this ... here is the relevant about:memory after opening and closing the toolbox.

Maybe https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=838069 is proof that toolbox.xul leaks. (Atleast on OSX 10.8)

The file toolbox.xul doesn't exist anymore.
