ESRI JS API 4.11: Cannot destroy Editor widget

Hello,

I just noticed that the Editor widget cannot be destroyed: an error occurs and the widget is not destroyed:

Thanks,

Nicolas

However, if you try to use the editor after destroying it, it's not working. Adding in a console.log(editor) after destroying it will give you

TypeError: null has no properties

You just have to manually remove the editor from the view.ui before destroying it.

setTimeout(() => {
  alert("Editor should be destroyed");
  view.ui.remove(editor);
  editor.destroy();
  console.log(editor);
}, 10000);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks for the suggestion Ken Buja‌ but then clicking on the map returns an error because the widget is not properly destroyed
