Memory Leak

[sayeef]

All,
I think HighCharts has memory leaks, at least in Goggle Chrome.
I am seeing memory leakage in an application I am supporting which is using HighCharts.
So after a while Chrome is crashing.
Since it has third party code , which is would possibly leak memory also, I tried to isolate the problem.
So I stumbled upon, the online test page from HighCharts at
http://www.highcharts.com/tests/?file=m ... rt-destroy

I ran Chrome profiler before and after "Run 100 times" button is clicked
I saw that the memory usage was 2.53MB before button was clicked and
4.53 MB after the button was clicked ..
I ran the GC and it still was 4.53 MB.

This tells me -- the HighSofts own test code proves that HighCharts leaks memory in Chrome.
Please let me know if my interpretation is wrong .
If I am correct, can you give me some advice as how we go forward using high charts.
Best regards
Sayeef

I also suspect memory leakage in Highcharts, so would be glad to hear some advice how to deal with this, too..TIA

You are right in that we are not quite there with a zero memory delta yet, but it is getting better and better though.

Workaround: is to refresh the browser, but I guess that is not a real option.
