Memory Leak: Event Listeners Not Cleaned Up on Component Destroy #3
Description
Event listeners are attached to various DOM elements (including a document-level keydown listener) but are not properly removed during component teardown.
The destroy() method currently removes DOM elements but does not unregister event listeners. In applications where components are mounted and unmounted frequently (such as SPAs, SSR hydration, or dynamic routing), this can lead to memory leaks and unexpected behavior.
Expected Behavior
All event listeners should be removed during destroy().
Suggested Fix
- Track all registered event listeners centrally
-
Ensure
removeEventListeneris called for:document/windowlisteners- Element-bound listeners
