Description
Starting with TIBCO Spotfire 7.5, Spotfire is disposing pages that are not active to save memory and are generated as needed. Each time you change from "Page A" to "Page B" , Dispose() is called. When you switch back to "Page A", Initialize() is called and because of this disposing, any data that is not serialized is lost.
Issue/Introduction
This article explains why non-serialized data of a custom visualization is lost when switching between pages
Resolution
To avoid this issue, you should serialize your data or use Preference Objects to save the data.
