$destroy causes exception while digesting !? (Cannot read property '$$nextSibling' of null)

[Bernd Wessels]

Hi

In my directive I use something like this:

var newScope = $scope.$new();

var newElement = $compile(...)(newScope);

later in an JQuery mousemove event I do something like:

if(!$rootScope.$$phase) {

    scope.$apply(function () {

        newScope.$destroy();

    });

}

Unfortunately that causes and exception:

TypeError: Cannot read property '$$nextSibling' of null

in:

// Insanity Warning: scope depth-first traversal

// yes, this code is a bit crazy, but it works and we have tests to prove it!

// this piece should be kept in sync with the traversal in $broadcast

if (!(next = (current.$$childHead || (current !== target && current.$$nextSibling)))) {

while(current !== target && !(next = current.$$nextSibling)) {

current = current.$parent;

}

Is there a bug?

Best regards

Bernd
