The Reproduction code was incorrect. You need to load the image as Datanode and then cast it to an image to reproduce it. The memory leak is propably casue by smartpointer dependencies. here some code examples:

Two more interesting examples:

"GetVtkImageData" is called by a number of filters. e.g. ExtractSliceFilter. At the moment this memory leak makes it impossible to use these filters in an autonomous processing, where more than 6-7 images are handled.

Bug will be fixed with the cahnges from T13953

A workaround would be cloning of the image before calling getVtkData. I'm gonna investigate the source of the problem some other time.

We began our research
In mitkDisplayInteractor.h
in the method:
void mitk::DisplayInteractor::ExecuteOperation(mitk::Operation * operation)

A similar bug (maybe even same bug source) can be reproduced by the following

geometry is now cloned before timesteps and points are set

Apparently, when you call "InsertPoint", you have to give world coordinates. Didnt see that. that clears the problem

Clone method DOES have a bug.
when you clone a 4D pointset the resulting pointset is 3D because the geometry is cloned in a wrong way.

COMP Reinitialized Planes is called only once after all rotations are finished

For rotating the renderwindows, the following "new" method is most appropiate:

is not really distinct. It is changing the normal of a stack of slices (slicedGeometry). Yet, the rotation of the slices around the normal is not well defined. So this can produce strange results.

The operation "AcRestorePlaneOperation" is not that great, since you need all kind of information for that plane (spacing, extend, etc...)

New remote branch pushed: bug-13109-RenderPlaneRotation

Rotated using possibilty 1 (after some manual rotation)

it's annoying, it's a bug.

Also, after finishing a Line Path or Polyong, the FIRST set point is deleted again.

The implemented solution (reinit the selected node) is not such a great solution. Maybe the user wants to see several images while performing segemntation.

Tge problem was a missing reinit of the selected datanode. This has been added now.

Maybe enabling busyCursor "BusyCursorOn()" would help to indicate to the user that otsu is still calculating (when e.g. choosing 10 thresholds)

There was a missing if statement in "EnableInterpolation" method
