At least in Augular 7, it seems replace method will create a additional ".cropper-container"s elements

It is a "bug" or is there a necessary code step required to avoid the creation of additional ".cropper-container" elements?

Thanks,

On further investigation, I'm thinking it's a bug in the original cropperjs, I think it's demonstrated here and you can try it yourself, see this issue: fengyuanchen/cropperjs#617.
