Thanks, Mike, for responding to my question!
I've pulled the latest HEAD from github (1.1.0) and test it withe the latest
wx (2.8.12 from few days ago) and added your patch from pull 89. I'm afraid
the leak is still the same. I also tried to use "your" version from github,
which already has the patch, but it didn't effect the leak. The problem
occures on all PCs I checked, some with winXP and one or two running Win7
OS.
I was somewhat inaccurate in a previous email. I did add a single axes to
the original script in the line:
self._price_ax = self.fig.add_subplot(111)
But now replaced it with the line:
self.fig.add_axes([0.075,0.1,0.75,0.85])
from the original script and the problem remains. Basically redrawing a
canvas with a single axes and nothing more on it grows the memory by more
than 100k per second.
Any ideas on what else can I check? workaround?
I'll appreciate it if anyone else can try and reproduce it.
