Using minimal Openframeworks App Visual Studio reports hundreds of memory leaks on exit?

I’m not 100% sure this is a bug but I’m not sure where else to post this. I apologize in advanced if this is my mistake on my end.

I’m using VS’s leak detection system and testing in Debug Mode in Visual Studio 2017 using OF 0.9.8.

I don’t mind if OF has unfreed memory upon app exit as long as long as it’s of fixed size (and not a growing leak).

My issue is that the massive dump of leak message make it difficult for me to find reported memory leaks in my own code on exit which is obviously important to me.

I am doing something incorrectly?
