#23 Memory leak in PlayerController(No detach of figure' player)

[Hai Chuan Wang]

Each time a figure is created, the figure's player will be attached to FeedGroup's playercontroller.

Plugin com.ibm.tuningfork.core
Class com.ibm.tuningfork.core.player.Player
Method public void attach(PlayerController controller)

However, when a user closes the figure, there is no any detach method invocation, and the PlayerController will still maintain the links to the player, and causes memory leak.

Although there is a detach method, this method is only invocated by button action.

[Dave Grove]

This is definitely a leak, but is just one of many places where we are holding onto pointers to objects that belong to closed figures. Resource management is definitely something that has lots of holes in the current system.
