Bug ID: 392568 Summary: Memory leak when browsing launcher's menus Product: plasmashell Version: 5.12.3 Platform: Archlinux Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff) Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk Reporter: jesse...@gmail.com CC: plasma-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: 1.0 Created attachment 111758 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=111758&action=edit plasmashell log It seems there's a memory leak in plasma's launchers. It happens both on Application Dashboard and Application Launcher. Steps to reproduce: 1. open KSysGuard and filter plasmashell in the processes. 2. launch Application Launcher and browse the application menus repeatedly, and watch as ram usage increases 3. after a while, close the launcher, open it again, and repeat step 2 This keeps increasing plasmashell's ram usage unstoppably. After a day of work I usually have plasmashell consuming about 1GB ram. Killing plasmashell and starting it again is a workaround. I'm not sure if this can be related, but I have a nvidia card (GTX 970). I posted plasmashell journal in the attachment. Please let me know there's another relevant log to post. Also, I recorded a video showing this issue in action: https://youtu.be/9D4TfWE1_vk -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
