When I turn on auto-refresh on any of my dashboards the memory usage just keeps growing. This happens in IE and Chrome and eventually things go bad. Is this a known problem, or is it something I am causing with the type of visualizations included in my dashboard?? I've just created some sample dashboards with different combinations of Pie Charts, Bar Charts, Line Charts and Searches..... ---

What version are you on? OS? ---

I downloaded the latest version about 2 weeks ago. I have kibana 4.1.2 and elasticsearch 1.7.2 running on ubuntu 14. I'm viewing the dashboard in chrome and ie on a windows 10 machine. ---

It might not have been obvious, so just to clarify - the memory issue is in my browser not on the server side. ---

I can also confirm the issue exists. My machine is windows 7 and I have used Chrome (45.0.2454.101 m), Firefox (40.0.2, 41.0.1) , Internet explorer (v11.0.22 (I can't even open one of my visualisations without gettings an Oops window and it keeps getting into a loop, showing the oops windows and refreshing the screen to show the oops window again) The chart I'm having problems with is the vertical chart with two filters and showing 1 hour time intervals. The graph is showing a weeks worth of logstash data. If I use the auto refresh the memory usage keeps on increasing, both in chrome and firefox.However if I reload the whole page then the memory usage does not increase. I can't go live with this bug considering kibana is supposed to be running on our wallboards and auto refreshing the graphs ☹ ---

There seems to be an open issue for this, or at least a very similar issue, [on GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/3188). If you can add information about the versions you are seeing this issue in and what your configuration/dashboards look like it may help in resolving the issue. ---
