Description

Steps to reproduce:

Create simple component with binding between selected item of combobox and text :

<mx:VBox xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
<mx:ComboBox id="cb" labelField="name">
<mx:dataProvider>
<s:ArrayCollection>
<fx:Object name="item1"/>
<fx:Object name="item2"/>
<fx:Object name="item3"/>
<fx:Object name="item4"/>
</s:ArrayCollection>
</mx:dataProvider>
</mx:ComboBox>
<mx:Text text="

{cb.selectedItem.name}

"/>
</mx:VBox>

Create an application using the component, and pop up the component when button is clicked :

<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
xmlns:component="component.*">
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
]]
>
</fx:Script>

<mx:VBox id="container">
<component:TestBindPopup id="popUp"/>
<mx:Button label="click" click="

{PopUpManager.addPopUp(popUp, this);}

"/>
</mx:VBox>
</s:Application>

Actual Results:

Binding is correct when component is not popped up, but after the addPopUp binding is disabled.

When the addPopUp is called, SystemManager does an "addChild" which calls a "removeChild" on component container. During "removeChild" the container disables all binding of the component.

Expected Results:

Binding is enabled after the addPopup like in Flex 3.

Workaround (if any):

Call BindingManager.setEnabled(popUp, true) after the addPopup.
