Bug ID: 382262
Summary: Media frame plasmoid causes plasmashell memory leak
Product: kdeplasma-addons
Version: 5.10.3
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: kishor...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Adding a picture frame plasmoid (the one described here:
https://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/PictureFrame ; it does not seem to have a
separate category, so I am reporting it under the 'general' component) to the
desktop causes plasmashell's memory consumption to grow indefinitely. Pressing
the 'next' or 'previous' arrows to change the displayed image makes the memory
consumption increase faster.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Add a media frame plasmoid to the desktop.
2. Add a few pictures to it.
3. Open Ksysguard and observe the amount of RAM used by plasmashell.
4. Wait for the image to change, or change the image by pressing the buttons.
Observed result: memory consumption by plasmashell increases with each image
change.
Expected result: plasmashell should not consume unreasonable amounts of memory
(in this case, I have observed its memory usage rising to up to 1.3 GB)
More info:
If we go to the 'detailed memory information' for plasmashell in Ksysguard, we
see that the bulk of the memory is allocated to 'heap', and this is the
component that grows on each image change.
