--- Comment #5 from vindicator <nroycea+...@gmail.com> ---
I'm also encountering a memory leak when hovering over the applications in the
status bar (not VRAM though).
X11 (but probably wayland as well since I switched back to X11 after another
unusable wayland issue).

I'll be attaching screencaps of heaptrack's "Consumed" and "Top-Down" tabs.

You'll notice the few areas in the chart where I intentionally hovered over
each active application in the status bar back and forth several times, along
with my time away from my computer (where there was no change).

Is the thumbnail/preview being created and not cached or disposed of every
time? Just cache it once for a given PID and dispose of it when the process
terminates.

My undesirable workaround for plasmashell as a whole is just to have it die by
using "MemoryMax=600M" for the service, where it then just respawns fresh
(though open applications in the statusbar may get rearranged each time).
I used that for wayland too, but it was happening much more frequently (more
than once a day vs probably a week+ on X11 before it dies), and it was worse
for wayland because yesterday before I switched, plasmashell was stuck in a
dying state and there were 2 processes open for it. I had to SIGKILL the
earlier one.
