Description

Untitled

Hello, most of my components are referencing themselves in the graph tab of the DevTools (screenshot for example). I'm actually optimizing an app after a migration to Vue 3 and I can't understand where this is coming from of this it is normal behavior.

Is it just a bug or something coming from my app ?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the self-references in the DevTools graph tab using an app migrated to Vue 3, then compare the graph with the component relationships shown by the app. A minimal reproduction should establish whether the references are expected behavior or a DevTools bug.
