Description Carsten Hammer CLA 2021-02-06 14:19:59 EST 
When a class is an inner class, but does not use its embedded reference
to the object which created it this reference makes the instances of
the class larger, and may keep the reference to the creator object alive
longer than necessary.  If possible, the class should be made static.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
