    Hi guys, I just want to know if it is normal that the eventsystem still allocate GC (about 280-300 with the standalone module and a little less with the touch module). Should I report a bug or can we reopen a fixed bug?

    Plus, moving text while the canvas is in pixel perfect allocated GC, but doesn't allocated GC if the canvas isn't set to pixel perfect. Is it by design?

    Thanks a lot! Really like the new gui! Good job!

    Yeah, that is why I asked if we can reopen a fixed bug.

    It's possible that it's been fixed but didn't make it in for Beta 20. Maybe wait for beta 21 and file a new bug if it's still broken there.

    Thank you, I'll wait :) but should I file a bug for the "moving text" allocating GC only when Canvas is in pixel perfect or it is by design?

    Go ahead and file a bug for that one - sounds sufficiently different from the previous issue that they might not have investigated it.

    That specific bug was fixed in b19 but I can confirm there's a new bug in b20. With nothing but a panel added to a project and nothing going on, the eventsystem allocates 392 bytes per frame. Specifically it happens inside StandaloneInputModule.ProcessMouseEvent, there's some Dictionary operations causing the allocations.

    I just sent a bug report of this, 641038.

    It is also happening inside the touch input module but with less allocation if you can specify that in your bug report please :)
