Closes #3981
As I'm mostly dealing with languages with automatic memory management, I'm not an expert on this. :p But I think
update_tooltip
creates objects with every update and at least doesn't get rid of the childrens' children.Attempt to address this by using
make_managed
instead of new objects.I've tested it and at least with my limited test it worked, can't see the reported memory leak with heaptrack anymore, either.
