Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Import the attached flash builder 4 beta project
2. Profile TestWithoutStyle application, after clicking on button run GC and check instances count on SimpleComponentWithoutStyle
3. Profile TestWithStyle application, after clicking on button run GC and check instances count SimpleComponentWithStyle

Actual Results:
TestWithoutStyle correctly garbages collect the instance.
TestWithStyle does not correctly garbage collect the instances because of a font size style declaration by the component.

Expected Results:
In both applications the instance should get correctly garbage collected. A simple font size style declaration by a component should not keep an object from getting garbage collected if there arent any more references to it.

Workaround (if any):
Dont know, maybe somehow remove the style from the component.
