When running on Tiger, my NSWindowController subclass that runs a modal preferences dialog gets a retain message after it has been deallocated. I can't reproduce this on Snow Leopard. The backtrace starts:

#0 0x92cc5fb8 in -[_NSZombie retain] ()
#1 0x92c2f1cc in -[NSInvocation retainArguments] ()
#2 0x93c5bc70 in _NSSendCommitEditingSelector ()
#3 0x93c7f1ec in -[NSController _controllerEditor:didCommit:contextInfo:] ()
#4 0x90a461f4 in objc_msgSendv ()
#5 0x92bf3fcc in -[NSInvocation invoke] ()
#6 0x92bf457c in -[NSInvocation invokeWithTarget:] ()
#7 0x92c02f38 in __NSFireDelayedPerform ()
#8 0x907f2384 in __CFRunLoopDoTimer ()


Items #2 and #3 make me think this might have something to do with the NSEditor protocol, but I don't understand how. As far as I can tell, I don't have any objects that conform to that protocol... no NSDocument, no NSObjectController, etc.

OK, I was wrong about this, I do use NSUserDefaultsController, which is a subclass of NSController. Apparently, when my OK button handler calls [mUserDefController save: self], that calls -[NSObject performSelector:withObject:afterDelay:inModes:], resulting in the zombie call. I still don't understand why the user defaults controller would want to retain the window controller.
