Bug ID: 444062
Summary: Severe widget memory leak - one or many, perhaps all.
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Widget Explorer
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: thomwalker...@mail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
There is an anomaly with the amount of RAM usage/accumulation after a several
amount of time the plasma widgets are being used for.
After 4 hours of uptime, I have observed (after closing down my other
applications, other than plasma-widgets, about 7-8GB of RAM being eaten by
metrics accumulated by widgets. Please see screenshot.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open at least 6-8 types of widgets for metrics such as seen in the
screenshot.
2. Wait 5+ hours.
3. Use the machine as per usual.
OBSERVED RESULT
Leaked memory and high RAM usage coming from a large array of kdeplasmashell
processes. After reboot, things went to normal. Reproduceable.
EXPECTED RESULT
Metrics/widgets should release/clear memory if it has accumulated a certain
amount of it.
RAM should have been 1.1GB (the norm for my machine when having nothing running
other than the shell/system).
Not 8.2GB.
