Bug ID: 421461
Summary: plasmashell memory spike and lag when removing
wallpapers from Desktop-Settings menu
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.18.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Image Wallpaper
Assignee: notm...@gmail.com
Reporter: pilki...@tuta.io
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
When removing a large number of wallpapers from the Desktop-settings menu
(right click on desktop > Configure desktop) the RAM usage for plasmashell
jumps to over a gigabyte and the plasma shell slows down until *something* is
done loading into RAM.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a folder full of wallpapers (My folder has 120 wallpapers in it)
2. Remove said wallpapers all at once. (click the red trashbin icon)
3. Click [OK]
OBSERVED RESULT
When having KSysGuard open you can see plasmashell accumulating RAM (in my case
until about 2,5 GB) and the shell slows down/gets leggy until this is done. The
RAM stays filled like this until the computer is rebooted.
EXPECTED RESULT
Barely, if any increased RAM usage, and no slowdowns.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 20.04 / Plasma 5.18.4
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.4

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Tried this on 2 different computers, same software, different hardware, happens
on both.
