Description

Expected behavior: <style> elements get disposed when re-rendering in StrictMode.

Describe the bug: When using themed styles (possibly prop-based as well) re-rendering a component using useStyles with a new theme will leak their <style> elements.

This is possibly due to useStyles managing the sheet during render but unmanaging it in a effect cleanup. A component can render multiple times (in concurrent and strict mode) before an effect is scheduled.

Click "rerender" and see that the number of <style> element grows with every "rerender" click.

Versions (please complete the following information):

  • react-jss: 10.1.1
  • Browser [e.g. chrome, safari]: Chrome 81
  • OS [e.g. Windows, macOS]: Ubuntu 18.04
  • react: 16.13.1
