Yes, sure!

0. Open app.powerbi in IE 11 or Edge

1. Create a new report (Desktop/Service) with a datasource of your choice, AdventureWorks will do.

2. Create 2 pages in your report and in one or both pages insert a PowerApp visual or ESRI Maps visual, with the corresponding fields.

3. Navigate the report going from page 1 to page 2, to page 1, and again. 

4. If desired, open Task Manager to review how memory incresases without being released at any moment. In IE it'll crash when reaching 1.5gb aprox and Edge 4/5gb aprox. 

 

Please tell me if you need any more info!
