Hi @kamil-sienkiewicz-asi, I'm sorry for the delay!

thanks for reporting and for the recording video, I'll be taking a look as soon as possible

[danielbarion]

I took a look in the master branch and also in the e v6 branch, I've added a few extra cleanup code to prevent memory leak, but on my tests, looks like there's no relevant progress so far, so I'll add the help wanted label on this one, please feel free to help too if you have any available time.

For the time being, is downgrading react-tooltip an option here? 🤔

[danielbarion]

Guys, can you please test the following version and let us know?

Beta version released with the last commit 🚀

yarn add react-tooltip@5.29.1-beta.1258.rc.1

or

npm install react-tooltip@5.29.1-beta.1258.rc.1

Unfortunately, we have a very limited time to dedicate to the project now (I have a recently born child that is consuming almost all of my time), so we would appreciate it if you could check the PR created by Copilot to see if it solves the issue (I reviewed the code, and it looks good to me).

We're still seeing huge amounts of nodes being rendered:
