$pick is not defined on window close

[terje@…]

Firebug reports that $pick is not defined if a window that has fired an Ajax request is closed before the Ajax request completes. Test case here:

When the popup opens, click the link. That triggers an ajax request with a slow (3 seconds) response time. While that's churning, close the window and watch the firebug console: '$pick is not defined'.

Uploaded an updated version of the demo to show that the problem still exists in Mootools 1.2 b2.

However, the error now says $defined is not defined.

This should be fixed, as we have a much cleaner garbage collector now. Reopen if its not.

The problem is still in the trunk as of time of writing this:

Reopening ticket.

In your popup example, you should cancel the request from running if the window is closed before it completes. There is no way for us to guarantee that MooTools methods will be available inside the popup window after your request is completed.
