In my case, the memory does not start growing until I switch to 'Full Screen' mode. Once it has entered 'Full Screen' mode, it triggers (a background thread that starts) creating Thumbnails. This does not stop when I exit Full Screen mode, and process memory continues to grow. The system eventually becomes unresponsive if I kill it.
I verified the 'no problem before full screen, problems after' by running strace. The memory use grows even when I deny access to the thumbnail directories. It looks as though the memory for the images being 'thumbnailed' is leaking. The large thumbnails, BTW, are ridiculously large; what is the point of a 100K+ thumbnail?! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/999821 Title: gwenview has memory leak in presentation mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gwenview/+bug/999821/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
