Notes
You will not be able to replicate this issue if you have large amount of RAM on your machine . I was able to replicate this when the browser memory reached 2 GB .
Thanks for your interest in this issue.
As we dug deeper into the IE11 memory leak issue, we have been able to reliably reproduce the leak within IE11 11.0.9600.18861 (circa 08/2017) on Windows 8. Using a vanilla Confluence installation and refreshing the page a number of time, it can be observed that the memory consumed by the page itself remains consistent, however the iexplore.exe process continues to grow.
Restesting on IE11 11.251.16299.0 (circa 02/2018) and Edge 41.16299.248.0 on Windows 10 we were unable to reproduce the same memory leak.
We have not been able to find a definitive list of the issues fixed in this IE11 release, but believe the issue is Memory leak - IE Edge - Microsoft Edge 8020622 (previosuly fixed in Edge only). Therefore, whilst we are confident that this issue can be resolved, there is a small chance that there still remains an issue.
Resolution: Please upgrade to Windows 8/10 and the latest version of IE11 (11.251.16299.0) circa 02/2018 and Edge 41.16299.248.0 or greater to fix this issue. NOTE: The issue persists on Windows 7 for which we have not plans to address this as we believe the issues lies with Microsoft.
Cheers,
The Confluence Server team
