Memory Leaks: 1 after Clean Install

Just installed OBS new. No old settings. 100% clean install without any Plugins/Scripts.I even skipped the assistant.
Got 1 Memory Leak at the bottom of the log.
I just opened and closed OBS for this log. Nothing happened there. Nearly impossible to get a leak.

WHY?

Reason why I checked a fresh install is, because I have massive problems with a complete new scene collection. Every OBS restart without deleting or creating a new scene (even an empty one) the preview-window and the record output is simply light grey.Even Studio mode clearly shows left the original scene and right this simple grey rectangle. And I got 299 memory leaks there.

So this my trial to get a complete new install. But even there are memory leaks. Just 1 but 1 is too much.
Maybe both problems are connected to each other.....

In Addition to the first log, I created a 2nd empy scene. Now I got 2 Leaks.
A 3rd scene doesn't change anything. Remaining 2 memory leaks.

Add at least one source. Don't keep scenes empty.

Add at least one source. Don't keep scenes empty.

just tried it and added a color source to each scene.
Down to 1 Memory leak, but still 1 Error (probably random, I will get 2 again after several restarts). To be expected, because the analyzer just shows an Info, not a warning.


The point is that I don't really care about the one leak. But from a software developer's point of view, it's clear that after an hour it could be 1000, as long as you don't know what's causing the leak.

And since I'm struggling with strange phenomena in my OBS instance after I've redone everything.... I'm now looking for the error.

Could be "closed".
I found a memory leak in a plugin and just informed the developer.
This does not explain this 1 leak with a fresh install without plugins, but solves my problem I had :)
