Hi, sorry to reopen this. I found out what triggers it. It's when slide show is
enabled as the desktop background. As each image changes to the next, the
memory usage goes up until it runs out and plasma crashes. I noticed it because
I had set the image to change every 2 seconds (I was testing something else
out) so it was easy to watch my memory widget go up every 2 seconds. Changing
the background to something else like a plain color stops the memory from going
up, but the memory also doesn't free itself.
Wallpaper type Image is fine, but as I select a different image to decide which
I want, the memory goes up for each one I click. I can keep doing this until I
get an OOM and plasmashell crashes and restarts or OOM killer kicks in.
I can even trigger this using Picture of the Day, and once each image is
downloaded from each source, changing between the sources at random will
increase the memory even when returning to an image that was once loaded.
In addition to the info below, I also use a dual monitor setup with one scaled
to 4k@150% and the other 1080p@75%. This current system is compiled with clang
but also happened on a GCC compiled system which I was using when I first
submitted the report.
