Dropped elements still being rendered [message #854020]

Hi,

This is a strange problem. I am using the run and render task separately. In some of my reports I'm dropping some tables in the beforeFactory event, like this:

reportContext.getDesignHandle().findElement("details_table").drop();

Some times, but not always, the render task still tries to render the dropped elements. I can tell this from logging in onPrepare, onCreate and onRender of the table. The table doesn't get prepared or created but onRender is still called, resulting in errors because the renderer cannot find the data in the report document.

This doesn't always happen, but when it does happen it's consistent for a given report. If I use IRunAndRender, the problem does not occur.

Any thoughts about why this might be happening?

Thanks

This looks like it may be a bug. Can you reproduce with a sample report?
