Research direction

The report names version 284 and .NET 10.0 but does not identify a code path or reproduction steps. Start by reproducing the memory growth after closing the window and letting Windows sleep, then inspect memory usage over time to determine whether it is a leak. Done means identifying and confirming the cause of the growth; this release repository provides no files or tests to start from.

Description

When I just closed the program window, the program memory usage in the task manager was only 20+MB. However, a few hours later, it was outrageous, reaching 400+MB. During this period, the Windows system went into sleep mode. Is there a memory leak?

Version 284, .NET 10.0
