elementorFrontend.init() create duplicates of .sub-arrow (Wordpress Menu widget)

Prerequisites

[X] I have searched for similar issues in open and closed tickets and cannot find a duplicate.
[X] I have troubleshooted my issue, and it still exists against the latest stable version of Elementor.

Description

When I am calling the elementorFrontend.init() method to reinit the Elementor scripts in some places, that cause a problem with a Wordpress Menu widget with the language dropdown option.

As a workaround I am currently using a JS script which I am running after the calling init method.

let menus = jQuery('ul[data-smartmenus-id] .elementor-nav-menu--dropdown')
  jQuery.each(menus, function(index, item) {
    jQuery(item).closest('[data-smartmenus-id]').smartmenus('refresh')
  })

I am found the refresh method on the smartmenus library and it seems work as expected.

Steps to reproduce

Create a Wordpress menu with a Language menu Item (I am using Polylang)
Add the Wordpress Menu widget to the Header Elementor template (horizontal layout)
On any of the pages call elementorFrontend.init()
The .sub-arrow will be added multiple times

Expected behavior

After calling the elementorFrontend.init() the .sub-arrow not be duplicated
