In bug #ZF-8770 Andrew Stoltz asked to fix using "new view renderer" instead of calling static one.

why did this bug marked as "not an issue"?

i have a big problem with it in such case: in application.ini I setup:

resources.view.helperPath.CU_View_Helper = APPLICATION_PATH "/views/helpers/CU/View/Helper"
resources.view.helperPath.ZendX_JQuery_View_Helper = ZendX/JQuery/View/Helper

then in bootstrap class:

protected function _initActionHelpers() {
    Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('contextSwitch')->AddContext('widget', Array('suffix'=>'widget'));
}

after this all queries with '&format=widget' have wrong output! ViewRenderer output *.phtml template instead of *.widget.phtml

if move contextSwitch initializer in another place (for example in controller init function) all work ok.

such behaviour explains by ContextSwitch helper call

Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('viewRenderer');

only once and store pointer to in as a private attribute. and if it happens before Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_ViewRenderer called, it causes errors.
