Leaking memory using jQuery

[bukharin]

I've found a memory leak in my application when jQuery is used. I don't use jquery directly but I need this reference on some pages (using jquery plugins).

When angular.js uses jQuery detached node tree grows up:

When I detach jQuery memory leaks go away.

version: 1.3-beta-2

A jsfiddle would be highly welcome

@bukharin it would also be good to know if this behavior exists in earlier versions of Angular, or was a regression introduced in 1.3.0-beta.2.

Sorry, I can't reproduce the problem at jsFiddle, because I can't understand the reason of that.
Now we solve this problem by referencing jQuery after angular. I try to reference angular 1.2.7 - problem still exists.

Sorry @bukharin, I ran some quick tests with and without jQuery, and didn't see any concerning results in the snapshot. In order to be able to reproduce and resolve this issue, I need you to provide a reduction in a jsfiddle or plunker. Otherwise we can't identify the cause of the bug (your application code, jQuery, or Angular). Closing this issue, but feel free to reopen if you have a reduction.

Note, there are some unresolved memory issues in V8 that have been discussed in other issues, like #2646 and #6856. Perhaps this is related.
