Package: i3
Version: 4.18-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I've seen my xorg grow in memory usage through the course of the day,
until it consumes all RAM available and starts swapping, even when the
machine is left idle.  This is 100% reproducible on my system, after
killing X and restarting it, it starts to eat memory again.

I'm reporting this against i3 instead of xorg, because I found other
Debian derivative users reporting this issue against i3, and it doesn't
seem to reproduce on other X based WM.

I reproduced this on a machine after a fresh install of bullseye, with
the package version below.

In my system, it is taking around 1 day to fill up 10GB of RAM.

I'm happy to apply patches and test packages you provide to help debug
this.
