Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. AIR app with initialized receiving and sending localConnection objects.

2. Browser with an initialized receiving and sending localConnection objects.

3. The AIR app receiving localConnection object is triggered by the browser,
resulting in a new instance of a spark window.

Actual Results:

Form elements in the window (DropDownList in particular) become slow. For example, to open up the dropDownList I need to click and hold for 3-5 seconds.

The reason I believe that this is a issue with the AIR receiving localConnection is if I open a new instance of the spark window from the AIR app directly it
works fine. As soon as I open a new instance from the receiving localConnection method, that instance slows. Also, any future instances opened (from the AIR app directly) are also slow until I restart the application.

Expected Results:

Form elements in the window are responsive

Workaround (if any):

None
