Bug ID: 502953
Summary: Setting avif or gif image as wallpaper causing major
memory leak
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.3.4
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: harderqhar...@gmail.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
If I set avif or gif (animated) images as my wallpaper, it will start memory
leaking right away until all of my RAM space is filled and my system become
unresponsive. I am pretty sure this is a memory leak because once I reset my
wallpaper to a static image, the memory growth stops.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set avif or gif image to wallpaper in the KDE setting
2. Check the memory usage (e.g. via htop)
OBSERVED RESULT
The memory usage immediate goes up once I set the wallpaper to avif or gif, and
eat up all my 32G Ram in few minutes
EXPECTED RESULT
The memory should not go up in this extreme amount and my system should stay
responsive
