Description

Hi,

In IE 10/11 the memory goes up and up and never comes down in one of our angular applications where we are using the ui-grid 3.0 as we move within the application. It is a single page application. The browser`s memory goes up and eventually crashes throwing the error 'not enough storage is available to complete this operation'.

Is the ui-grid compatible with IE ? there are no leaks in the other browsers.

Research direction
Investigate the memory leak in IE 10/11 by reproducing with a simple AngularJS ui grid setup. Check for event listener leaks, DOM detachment issues, and grid data bindings. Look at common AngularJS memory leaks like $timeout or $interval not being cleaned up. Compare with Chrome to isolate IE specific behavior.
