Degraded performance in 4.2.6 vs 4.2.5

[delucis]

Hi, firstly, thanks for maintaining this excellent tool!

I’m seeing something that smells like a memory leak after upgrading to 4.2.6 from 4.2.5. I haven’t managed to figure it out yet, but over time, state changes that impact tooltip content appear to cause the browser to hang longer and longer with the profiler showing a long sequence of repeated Recalculate Style, Apply Style Changes records. (Hangs starting from 800ms after a couple of interactions, rapidly increasing to more than 8 seconds.)

This is in a complex app with a lot of tooltips sharing a singleton so I’ve not had much luck debugging further, but reverting to 4.2.5 resolved this, so I’m fairly sure 4.2.6 is the culprit. Will post more if I figure anything else out.

mutableBox.children might not be getting cleaned up properly. (useSingleton.js)

Any news on this? My NextJS application keeps hanging, only when Tippy is active. Usually after switching between a couple of pages.

@Jonnotie are you using a singleton? 4.2.5 => 4.2.6 only changed one thing for singletons, if the earlier versions works I recommend downgrading to it for now. Otherwise take a look at the diff and try to revert/debug why it might be causing degraded perf. I don't have much time to work on Tippy anymore as I'm working on Floating UI which will be much better.

2.5 years later and I can confirm that this is definitely an issue. I recommend removing the 4.2.6 release.
