Bug ID: 502240
Summary: Possible memory leak 20GB+ (64GB system)
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: 6r1mr34...@yourtimehascome.sbs
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0

btop showing plasmashell using 36G on the system (it then went up to 40G+)
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run plasmashell under Wayland
2. Launch btop to check plasmashell RAM usage
3. Wait a few minutes
OBSERVED RESULT
plasmashell procces rapidly increases RAM usage and have 20GB+ been used on my
64GB (real memory) machine with also 64GB disk swap in 3 minutes average
it sometimes has even reached 48GB, and others all the RAM and plasmashell
restarts itself, killing all my apps in the procces. There is no need to run
anything else, it always eats all the RAM
I have also removed all plasmoids as that seems to be normal cause of memory
leaks
But still the same
My KDE Plasma Wayland environment is very vanilla
EXPECTED RESULT
plasmashell using normal and average expected RAM
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: latest
KDE Frameworks Version: latest
Qt Version: latest
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have tried running this command in case it could somehow help
Please let me know how to do better, as I have never encountered an issue like
this before
