Understanding Profiler: Profiler Memory Shows GC Allocation but Overview does not

Question

Please help me understand somet$$anonymous$$ng. In my profiler screenshot below, I seen the Memory section that there is regular GC Allocation being done (w$$anonymous$$ch curiously enough coincides with Mesh Memory increase) -- but it goes back down.

However, in my overview section, the is zero GC Alloc being performed. What's going on here? Should I be concerned about these GC Allocs? Is there a memory leak? Using Unity 2017.3.0p3

I also encountered the same problem, but I solved it. The detail of the GC alloc is displayed by pressing the Profile Editor button on the right of Profiler's Deep Profile and probably t$$anonymous$$s is the GC being used for profiler drawing, so if you close the profiler GC Alloc will not be done.
