I haven’t taken a look yet, I’ll try to do it today 👍

EDIT: I think I’ve found the issue, a fix is on the way

We’ve pushed two fixes to the beta, and will be available for testing within an hour:

- a fix for the sprite flip issue when using trimmed sprite images
- a reference count issue when using the buffer type

Yes, this is a bug. We will fix that.

Some of leaks fixed.  
This is fixed.

```lua
mesh.buffer_res = resource.create_buffer("/def-mesh/buffers/buffer" .. RES_BUFFER_IDX .. ".bufferc", { buffer = buf, transfer_ownership = true })

```

This not. No transfer\_ownership?  
Creation

```lua
	local name = "/runtime_buffer_water_" .. M.water.idx .. ".bufferc"
	local new_buffer = resource.create_buffer(name, { buffer = water_create_default_native_buffer() })

```

later when change buffer

```lua
	resource.set_buffer(e.water_buffer.buffer, buffer, { transfer_ownership = true })

```

But now sometimes i see leaked, sometime not.  
When i change location(delete old water, create new water)

i see leaked. But every time it different. Sometimes i not see any leaks. Sometimes part of buffer leaks.

```lua
ERROR:RESOURCE: Leaked resources:

Do I need to do something specific to make the game create all of these? I just ran the project and closed it, and the two leaks originally posted were fixed. So I think I need more information on how to repro this. Or a smaller repro

1.This happened when i change location.  
Look at video link.  
1)Open game  
2)Run in green rect. Stop.  
3)Choose battle  
4)Run back to lose  
5)Return to hub location.  
6)Close game

2.Add new code. So now it happened when you close game.  
game\_world.lua. Look at commit “add test to fix leaked”

```lua
--create 5 waters
	local waters_test = {}
	local FACTORY_URL = msg.url("game_scene:/factory#water")

	local PARTS = {
		ROOT = COMMON.HASHES.hash("/root"),
		MESH = COMMON.HASHES.hash("/mesh"),
	}

	local function water_create_default_native_buffer()
		return buffer.create(1, {
			{ name = hash("position"), type = buffer.VALUE_TYPE_FLOAT32, count = 3 },
			{ name = hash("normal"), type = buffer.VALUE_TYPE_FLOAT32, count = 3 },
			{ name = hash("texcoord0"), type = buffer.VALUE_TYPE_FLOAT32, count = 2 },
		})
	end

	for i = 1, 5 do
		local e = { }
		local collection = collectionfactory.create(FACTORY_URL, vmath.vector3(1))

		local name = "/leaked buffer" .. i .. ".bufferc"
		local new_buffer = resource.create_buffer(name, { buffer = water_create_default_native_buffer() })
		
		e.water_buffer = {
			name = name,
			buffer = new_buffer
		}

		e.water_go = {
			root = msg.url(assert(collection[PARTS.ROOT])),
			mesh = nil
		}
		e.water_go.mesh = COMMON.LUME.url_component_from_url(e.water_go.root, "mesh")
		-- assign cloned buffer to a mesh component
		go.set(e.water_go.mesh, "vertices", e.water_buffer.buffer)
		print("create water buffer", e.water_buffer.name)
		table.insert(waters_test, e)
	end

	for _, w in ipairs(waters_test) do
		print("delete water buffer", w.water_buffer.name)
		assert(w.water_go)
		go.delete(w.water_go.root, true)
		w.water_go = nil
		w.water_buffer = nil
	end
	collectgarbage("collect")
	collectgarbage("collect")
	collectgarbage("collect")

I have tested it now and the new dimensions match correctly. I noticed two things:

1. It doesn’t work properly when Allow Dynamic Transforms is set to true in game.project. When that flag is true, changing the diameter of a sphere doesn’t do anything. Resizing a box works but it resets to pos=(0,0,0) even if another position is set in the editor. Maybe it is not supposed to work with that setting on and in that case you can disregard this.
2. I get a crash:  
`Assertion failed: area > 1.192092896e-07F, file ..\src\box2d\Box2D\Collision\Shapes\b2PolygonShape.cpp, line 361` when exiting the application after setting the width or height to zero. I guess this is not a problem since setting the dimensions to zero doesn’t make much sense.

Yes, I think it’s not comparable with `Allow Dynamic Transforms` option.

It’s not critical, because this value isn’t valid. We will add a Lua error for it, but maybe in the next version

😌 Hello how are you?  
I just resumed my internship with Defold after a while, however I noticed that they started asking me for an update every time I open the editor, is this normal? 🤔

PS. I use KDENeon as OS, I did a hard reset to my pc. 🐧

I apologize in advance if this was not the topic to express my doubts. 😉

I think we will fix both in the next version
