#16869 confirmed Bug

Memory leak when creating / destroying inline instances

Description

When you dynamically create inline instances and then destroy an instance with instanceName.destroy() the mutation observers aren't destroyed and thus causing some serious memory leak and dom leakage.

On a page with multiple instances and a lot of user interaction this leak quickly starts to grow big (multiple mb's per step) and causing the ckeditor / browser to become really slow.

I've attached a screenshot of a heap snapshot comparison done in Chrome. The steps I did were:

ActionSteps = create inline instance and then destroy it

  1. do: ActionSteps
  2. take Heapsnapshot
  3. do: ActionSteps
  4. take Heapsnapshot
  5. do: ActionSteps
  6. take Heapsnapshot

Then select heapsnapshot 3 and select from dropdown "Object allocated from snapshot 1 and 2"
