Toggling Visibility of a MeshInstance Causes Huge Memory Leak??

+1 vote

I have a script where I generate some MeshInstance's when _ready() is called.
In the same script, _process() toggles the visibility of all the MeshInstances on every update.

When I play the game, the Static Memory constantly, indefinitely, and permanently increases!

More details:
+No other memory monitor stats increase.
+Letting it run for an hour resulted in the Godot using 16GB of memory (and climbing).
+Freeing all MeshInstance objects from memory does not lower the Static Memory usage.
+Toggling visibility every second instead of every frame yields the same results, but with a slower increase in Static Memory.

Here is my project file. Please help!

Turns out this was a bug; I opened an issue on the godotengine github and it has already been resolved!

The issue is only present when having "Use Bvh" on in the Rendering settings.
