[Interest] Dynamically created item destroyed with original parent despite reparenting

[Personal Gmail]

As the documentation says: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtqml-component.html <http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtqml-component.html>
Dynamically created instances can be deleted with the destroy() method. See Dynamic QML Object Creation from JavaScript for more information.
So I tested you code by commenting oldParent.destroy(); and it worked just fine. you can set the opacity of oldParent to zero to be able to see this.
