Not sure if this helps anyone here but thought I should follow up. This memory leak issue appears to have been fixed* on the Fedora 30 Mate Spin Beta (mate-panel-1.22.0-3.fc30.x86_64). It's only been up for 4 days, however, mate-panel started at 0.5 memory usage and has not changed at all. I am running the clock with seconds, the System Monitor, and everything else I can think of to try and see the leak again and it's not happening. I expect to see uptimes of 400+ days again, yay!
*fixed: As in I didn't have to change any files or not run the seconds on the clock. It now works as it did in all the previous versions of Fedora before 28. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1793465 Title: Mate Panel consumes huge amount of memory even when idling To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mate-panel/+bug/1793465/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
