  • Closing, no .capx attached and the described behavior is by design. Changing a layout destroys all non-global objects, and their 'On destroy' triggers fire accordingly.

  • do you have a solution for that not to happen? destroying non global objects is fine but i dont think anyone want the on destroyed events to happen at this moment, why did you design it that way? is there a reason i dont get? im imaging a lot of problems by this behaviour and more complicated "code"

  • Set a flag when changing layouts and ignore the triggers when they fire when that flag is set.

    It happens because it is a logical consequence of triggering "on destroyed" when the object is destroyed, and the fact that changing layout destroys all non-global objects.
