Bug ID: 469005
Summary: [Spectacle] Very high memory used while screen
recording (possibly cursor related)
Classification: Applications
Product: Spectacle
Version: 23.04.0
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: noaha...@gmail.com
Reporter: matteodinoi...@gmail.com
CC: k...@david-redondo.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
While recording the screen with the new version of spectacle (23.04) a very
high usage of RAM of about all the available RAM on the system (which is 5-7gb
on my system). It seem to be a problem connected to the cursor because while
moving it fastly around the screen the ram usage goes up quickly.
While in this state the application while still responding doesn't seem able to
stop the recording by pressing the button (sometimes it does but after some
time is passed between button pressed and actual stop).
Even after stopping the recording the memory seem to remain allocated. Only
deallocated after closing the application.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open spectacle
2. Go on the recording tab
3. Click record "selected screen" (or also "workspace")
4. move your cursor around like crazy for about some seconds to make the ram
usage go up faster
OBSERVED RESULT
Ram usage pass from about more or less 1 gb to about 5 gb (physical memory) and
some swap. It only stop when the memory is completly full.
EXPECTED RESULT
No memory increase or not such a big increase.
