The issue of a GUI node crash caused by an excessive number of nodes with gui.clone_tree

Questions
1

When I place a text node under a box node and use gui.clone_tree to clone it, the game crashes whenever the number of nodes exceeds around 210. However, if I clone just 2 box nodes or over 1024 text nodes separately, it still works fine. I am not sure whether this is a bug or some kind of internal mechanism. The error message from the debug tool is as follows:

ERROR:RENDER: Exhausted number of render dispatches. Too many collections?

when I use gui.clone，and use gui.set_parent instead of clone_tree ，it still crash in the same way。

function M:init(template, nodes)

self.temp=template

self.druid = self:get_druid(template, nodes)

self.box= self:get_node('box')

self.text= self:get_node('text')

for i=1,10 do

    for u=1,55 do

        local box= gui.clone(self.box)

        local text=gui.clone(self.text)

        gui.set_parent(text, box)

        gui.set_position(box, vmath.vector3(u*30,i*10,1))

    end

end

end

I solved this problem by this way ，but can it be solved by simply use gui.clone_tree ？

gui.set_position(box, vmath.vector3(u80,i50,1))

        gui.set_parent(text, box)

        -- local pos= gui.get_position(text)

        gui.set_parent(text,nil,true)

Could you please create a ticket on GitHub and include a minimal project?
