Bug ID: 433489
Summary: Memory leak in plasmashell when switching desktop
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.20.5
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Desktop Containment
Assignee: notm...@gmail.com
Reporter: vlzvo...@ya.ru
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
I have been experiencing this for a long time. I think about a year for sure.
For a work session of 12 hours, plasmashell memory consumption can grow from
~100Mb to ~1GB.
Memory consumption increases irrevocably when switching virtual desktops.
Approximately 300-400Kb at a time.
In the process of research I came across these closed reports with the same
problem:
- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=391063
- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368838
but researching it didn't help me a lot.
I have experienced this on at least two different machines. Also on different
KDE desktop configurations, including on a fresh kde config for new user.
I have already tried removing the system monitoring applets. It didn't help.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Switch between virtual desktop with opened windows on them should be enough.
OBSERVED RESULT
Memory usage of plasmashell process continuously increases
EXPECTED RESULT
Stable memory usage of plasmashell
