Templatizer was incorrectly caching the
<template>
element from the first call totemplatize
on the templatizer constructor's prototype, which then leaked it but more importantly itsdataHost
(plus anything else up the tree linked viadataHost
). Since the templatizer constructor is cached on the_content
(which is then cached in the prototypical_notes
of a custom element prototype), this resulted in an arbitrary amount of dom instances being retained via the custom element prototype.This fix instead caches a "clone" of the template without any of the instance-time references like
dataHost
on the cached constructor.Reference Issue
