[Bug?] onUpdate fires continuously despite not calling requestUpdate or requestUpdateOnNextTick

I don't know where or why onUpdate is being triggered, but you can see in this working example that the onUpdate in the CurriculumMenu is being called continuously. In no onUpdate callbacks do I call requestUpdate or requestUpdateOnNextTick.

I think that's a bug. What happens if instead of passing this (@) into the requestUpdateOnNextTick call you make a component, then pass the component ID into requestUpdateOnNextTick (hen you add the component with addComponent, it returns the component ID).

Hi. I wanted to report a bug I've found related to update/onupdate and then I saw your problem.

in core/Transform.js multiply (out, a, b) function (In Famous)

there are lines like this:
changed = changed ? changed : out[0] === res;

which is wrong as changed will be true if there were no changes.
out[0] !== res;
would be correct, and that stops the updates from being called again each frame.
