Bug ID: 505519
Summary: Ghostwriter makes Xorg leak/hog memory
Classification: Applications
Product: ghostwriter
Version First 24.12.3
Reported In:
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Ghostwriter appears to make the Xorg process leak/hog memory. Leaving
Ghostwriter open for a long time makes the Xorg process's memory consumption go
up, to the point where it takes more than 1 GB of RAM. Closing Ghostwriter
immediately makes Xorg release the memory and get back to ~85 MB.
This seems to indicate that there is something wrong with how video memory is
managed in Ghostwriter.
If this can help diagnosing the issue, I do not ever open the preview frame.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Ghostwriter
2. Keep it open for a while (a few days?)
OBSERVED RESULT
Xorg memory goes up to multiple hundred gigabytes, or even more than 1 GB.
EXPECTED RESULT
Xorg memory does not go up.
