IE: Memory leak

[chun_chen]

Load the editor, with IE 6 on Windows XP. The memory usage of IE (indicated by windows task manager) continuously grows each page is refreshed, unless close the browser and restart it again. IE 6 will consume 600-800KB memory with each page refresh. This behavior can be reproduced

In my tests, loading sample01.html, I had two different results:

• Average 700KB when loading the editor with compressed scripts (default).
• Average 150KB when loading the editor with the original source.

The difference is... well... weird! I would expect the opposite instead.

We are aware of some leaks still present. We have already done a great job reducing them, and our tests with the uncompressed version made we thought that the situation was ok for now.

We'll be certainly working on it, but I'm not able to give dates for fixes. For now I'm targeting to 3.0.

Using FCKEditor 2.4 Memory leaks appear in FF and IE.

Reproduction:

Call any example page (or instance number 9 with multiple editors) and reload (F5) many times. Lean back and see memory growing ...

I've noticed that switching to and from Source mode also produces noticeable leak.

sIEve is giving no leaks for me right now with the trunk code. I've tested the nightly builds also, with no noticeable leak. We'll keep an eye on this in future releases.
