Memory leakage when using plotly() backend for plotting

[GiggleLiu]

When ploting for multiple times using Plots library, with plotly() backend, the RAM can go up to 6GB, and slows down everything. If I switch back to gr(), the problem disappear.

Pluto v0.12.20, Julia1.6.0-rc1, Chrome 87.0.4280.141 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I will try to add an example later.

This might be an issue of plotly(), I saw people discussing about it: https://community.plotly.com/t/memory-leak-when-calling-plotly-plot-in-loop-with-small-example-code/30919

plotly()

gr()

The code

# ╔═╡ fc3587f8-7333-11eb-119d-8377abc270cd
using Plots, PlutoUI

# ╔═╡ 01f66e9e-7334-11eb-2297-d1b74fd3aa03
plotly()

# ╔═╡ 04aa7e66-7334-11eb-25f5-39ee98a1e481
@bind clock Clock(0.01)

# ╔═╡ 14a299d4-7334-11eb-3d5b-714a6a0b5a18
let
	clock
	x = 1:1000
	plot(x, randn(1000))
end

There seems nothing can be done in the pluto side. We can just close this issue? @fonsp

I came here to report what looks like a memory leak, and I'm using the PlotlyJS backend. I'm pretty sure that what I'm experiencing isn't just a PlotlyJS issue, because I've never seen anything remotely like it when using PlotlyJS through the REPL or interpreter. I would've noticed: symptoms include my browser crashing repeatedly and my system grinding to a halt because of intensive use of swap space.
