Thanks for the bug report. Four possible causes of memory leaks come to
mind:
1. Unsupported extensions like gsconn...@andyholmes.github.io - they can
still leak even when disabled. So please ensure the extension has been
fully deleted, and then log in again.
2. If you use the screenshot feature then bug 1973638 is a major leaker
(fix coming in gnome-shell 42.5).
3. Nvidia users also report bug 1974029 but that's graphics memory only.
It won't show up in 'top' or 'ps'.
4. Judging by other bug reports I suspect there might be leaks in
ubuntu-appindicat...@ubuntu.com so try disabling that one. But it's not
been confirmed.
If the problem still occurs after considering all of the above then next
time it is noticeable please run:
ps auxw | grep gnome-shell > psgs.txt
journalctl -b0 > journal.txt
and attach the resulting text files here.
Also, to avoid "me too" comments from other users clouding the issue I
will make this bug private until the cause of the problem has been
found.
