# Memory Leak Issue Report
## Environment Information
- **Chrome Version**: 129.0.6668.59
- **ChromeDriver Version**: 129.0.6668.58
- **Operating System**: [Please specify your operating system]
## Steps to Reproduce
1. Open Chrome and enable DevTools.
2. Use the following code snippet to continuously perform the find operation:
```python
while True:
driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, "menu")Issue Description
After repeatedly calling the find_element method, memory usage rapidly increases, eventually causing the browser to crash. The following string appears continuously:
"(function(){ return (function() { // Copyright 2012 The Chromium Authors
// Use of this source code is governed by a BSD-style license that can be
// found in the LICENSE file.
/**
* Enum for WebDriver status codes.
* @enum {number}
*/
const StatusCode = {
STALE_ELEMENT_REFERENCE: 10,
JAVA_SCRIPT_ERROR: 17,
NO_SUCH_SHADOW_ROOT: 65,
DETACHED_SHADOW_ROOT: 66
};
/**
* Enum for node types.
* @enum {number}
*/
const NodeType = {
ELEMENT: 1,
DOCUMENT: 9,
};
/**
* Dictionary key to use for holding an element ID.
* @const
* @type {string}
*/
var ELEMENT_KEY = 'ELEMENT';
/**
* Dictionary key to use for holding a shadow element ID.
* @const
* @type {string}
*/
const SHADOW_ROOT_KEY = 'shadow-6066-11e4-a52e-4f735466cecf';
const W3C_ELEMENT_KEY = 'element-6066-11e4-a52e-4f735466cecf';
/**
* True if using W3C Element references.
* @const
* @type {boolean}
*/
var w3cEnabled = false;
/**
* True if shadow dom is enabled.
* @const
* @type {boolean}
*/
const SHADOW_DOM_ENABLED = typeof S"Expected Result
Memory usage should remain stable during normal usage of WebDriver, and the browser should not crash.
Actual Result
After some time, memory usage spikes dramatically, leading to the eventual crash of the browser.
