Leaked bsc instances:

Leaked bsc instances:
roInt refcnt= 1 addr=0x589fb2f8
roInt refcnt= 1 addr=0x78c2bd68

Happens periodically with calls to roRegion.Offset(). Happens less frequently with SetWrap(true).
The following code eases one message out and another in by simply easing the region offset.
It does not happen with m.StatMsgRegion.Offset(-l_offdiff, 0, 0, 0) commented out


Function scr_scroll_message() As Void
   
   l_prevset = 0 
   l_frames  = 20
   
   for l_i = 0 to l_frames
   
      l_offset  = CubeEaseOut(l_i, l_frames, 0, m.StatMsgWidth)
      l_offdiff = l_offset - l_prevset
      
      if l_offdiff > 0
         m.StatMsgRegion.Offset(-l_offdiff, 0, 0, 0)
         m.Compositor.DrawAll()
         m.Screen.SwapBuffers()
         l_prevset = l_offset
      end if             
         
  end for
 End Function

    well after testing it further it does not seem to be the function calls at all. By the message, I am assuming it to be some kind of memory leak. Since It was not happening yesterday (unless I didn't notice) , I'll try to go back and see what code was introduced that caused this. Unless any of you experts can enlighten me as to what causes this message to be generated. Sometimes they sort of stack up and then are released all at once. Is this something to be concerned about?

    They're just circular references that the garbage collector couldn't clean up until channel exit. They're much more common when you use Home to exit a channel, as your objects don't have the opportunity to release their references.

    Thank you TheEndless. Your screensaver was the
    First one I purchased. Still using it.
