Bug ID: 456169 Summary: Memory leak in dolphin Product: dolphin Version: 22.04.1 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: valen...@rsmail.net CC: kfm-de...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY If you use your computer for a long time, with dolphin opened, like, some days with sleeps everyday, dolphin will take a lot of memory, like multiple GB of ram/swap even with only one tab opened and very few files in it. I do that for working, and I have to kill dolphin regularly, because it takes regularly a lot of RAM. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open dolphin 2. Let it run for a long time, by working on the computer with or without using it 3. Open ksysguard a long time later, you will see that dolphin is taking a lot of ram, sometimes the whole memory (more than 15GB) for just one tab opened, with nothing in it... OBSERVED RESULT Dolphin takes more and more memory over the time, until consuming all the memory, my computer already crashed because of that after some weeks. EXPECTED RESULT Dolphin should use a stable amount of memory, and release what it didn't use.
