## My Issue/Question
Memory leak and GUI appears frozen when resizing viewport or when dragging title bar from maximized to windowed mode. The issue doesn't happen every resize or maximize/drag back to window mode but is frequent enough to cause problems. Memory also increases from 65 MB to over 1 GB when the freeze occurs in this sample application. In my real application the memory increases can make the computer run out of memory. Number of triangles also increases after the issue. This seems related to #2049. I can reproduce this with the code in #2049 and with the dearpygui demo or the code below. It also occurs without maximizing but with a resize of the viewport while in windowed mode.
## To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Run the sample code
2. Maximize and drag back to window mode until GUI freezes
## Expected behavior
GUI should not freeze and memory consumption not increase
