just found a bug with gradient editing. Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a Text
2. Apply a gradient to the text
3. Delete the text
4. Undo deleting the text
5. Try to edit the gradient or switch to a solid fill. It won't work

This is another manifestation of this bug:

Namely when you delete and then undo deletion of text, the deleted copy (or its NRArenaItem) still lingers somewhere and holds a href to the gradient. So the href count after that is always 1 more than the actual usage count of the gradient, and thus the gradient is regenerated anew on each drag.

Mental, do you have any fresh ideas on how to fix it?
