[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (RF-4221) rich:panelMenu has significant memory leak

rich:panelMenu has significant memory leak ------------------------------------------ Key: RF-4221 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-4221 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.2.0 Environment: Using jsf, facelets and richfaces 3.2.0 (I think 3.2.1 has same bug but I can't remember) Reporter: Tim Evers Assignee: Tsikhon Kuprevich Attachments: panelMenu.xhtml I have a rich:panelMenu for my application's side menu bar. This menu is visible on every page in the system. However, on every render(post/get etc) the memory footprint of IE will go up by around 1.5MB! This behaviour stops immediately when I remove the richfaces panelMenu. There is no dynamic content in the panelMenu. (See attached source) The memory leak is quite large and does not get cleaned up. I have waited up to 5 mins to see if footprint will decrease in size, but it does not. The application it is expected that users will be heavily using the system for most of the day. Thus a 1.5MB increase in the IE memory footprint on every navigation is not going to work. I havn't taken the time to investigate what is causing the leak. But a simple page should be good enough to reproduce the problem.
