The game doesn't "destroy" widgets (frames, buttons etc). They remain until you /reload or logout.

I don't use Ace so I can only guess that at what releasing does, possibly some internal pool mechanaism for re-use. That said, just hiding/showing the frame to start with until you get more understanding of how Ace does things won't hurt.

Putting code blocks around code will make it more readable (the # or blue lua buttons above the edit box)
