Description Jesse Glick 2010-10-15 19:38:22 UTC

I observed my IDE retaining projects long after they had been closed, and analyzed a heap dump. One of the problems:

<a project> <- ... <- ProjectsRootNode.BadgingNode <- VCSContext <- ShareMenu <- <main menu bar>

I cannot quite follow how ShareMenu is supposed to work, but this seems to be a singleton menu, so it must never hold a strong reference to anything which might be related to a project.
