Ajax: Rich combo does not expand for every second or following editor

[Niek Kouwenberg]

When dynamicly creating a CKEditor instance, removing it and again creating an instance, the rich combo boxes (fomat, style, ...) no longer work. Not in IE, not in Firefox.

I thought it was my faulty implementation, but it seems the Ajax example in the _samples dir has the same problem.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the ckeditor/_samples/ajax.html
2. Click "Create Editor"
3. Click on any rich combo box. It will open.
4. Click "Remove Editor"
5. Click "Create Editor"
6. Click on any rich combo box. It no longer opens.

Firefox gives me the following error:

Error: this.$ is undefined Source File: ckeditor/ckeditor.js Line: 11

As a work-around I tried deleting the editor all together, which seems to work as long as I do NOT call destroy() on the editor:

CKEDITOR.instancesname?.destroy(); delete CKEDITOR.instancesname?;

This however causes other problems, which destroy() handles (e.g. events), so this has not worked for me.

New information:

When disabling the "this.theme.destroy(this);" call in the editor's destroy() method, this problem no longer occurs, so I'm guessing the default's theme destroy() method causes the problem...
