Issue 2014: IE memory leak when closing a window
12 people starred this issue and may be notified of changes. Back to list
 
Reported by haim.yadid, Jan 22, 2008
Found in GWT Release:
1.4 on Windows XP/IE7

Detailed description:
I have a GWT application which do not suffer from memory leaks as long I 
navigate to a different page e.g. about:blank
If I close the window/tab there is a huge memory leak. 
The memory leak is also evident on every GWT module I have tested and even 
on demos by Googles such as the  hello world demo  and the dynamic 
table on GWT site. 



Workaround if you have one:
None

I've confirmed that this is indeed happening. For some reason, I never thought to
test this case specifically. I'll do my best to figure out what's going on and get
this leak plugged for the release.

Turns out there was a typo in some of the cleanup code that somehow never managed to
cause this problem under any other circumstances.
