Bug ID: 486743
Summary: Notifications leak memory
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.0.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Keywords: regression
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Notifications
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: n...@kde.org
CC: k...@privat.broulik.de
Target Milestone: 1.0
Current git master of everything KDE built from source on top of Fedora 40 KDE,
with Qt 6.7.0 from distro packages.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System monitor, go to the Processes page, and search for "plasmashell"
2. In a terminal window, run `while true; do notify-send foo bar; done`
OBSERVED RESULT
plasmashell's memory usage slowly but continuously rises, and doesn't fall
again after 5 minutes of not interacting with the system.
EXPECTED RESULT
Notifications that don't get stored in history don't permanently increase
plasmashell's memory usage.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
In actual usage with notifications that include icons or pixmaps (e.g. from a
chat client like NeoChat), the memory usage rises faster compared to using
`notify-send` to spam notifications
