Public bug reported: After opening gnome software, it starts taking more and more memory in big chunks, around 80MB per second. While I'm writing this report it has already taken 3.1GB of memory. As time passes it also asks more CPU, taking sometimes up to 33% on my machine.
Reproduce: - kill any instance of gnome software - open gnome software - watch it eat all your memory This doesn't happen every time. When it happened to me I had just killed gnome software because it was taking a lot of CPU.
