I see this bug quite often. And it's very annoying when I am on my laptop as I really have to switch it off to get out. ctrl-alt-backspace won't work. I just see the memory raising and raising.
A general pattern is that it only happens when 1) I have a paragraph containing names of C++ classes with capitals in the middle of the word and 2) I then try to change the text in the middle of the paragraph. I believe it's when it tries to do the line wrapping that it fails. An example is what I was typing just now: Because it's an instance of FilterDesktop and not CombineParticles. In FilterDesktop there's only one filter applied while in CombineParticles there are three. Then I wanted to come back to "In FilterDesktop" and change it to "FilterDesktop does only filter and therefore". I believe it's when I accidentally removed a space and then had "FilterDesktop does only filterthere's only one" (no space between filter and there) that evolution started to leak. One additional hint may be that I have english, french and german spellcheck on all time. -- Runaway leak in composer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/51662 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
