Bug ID: 426539
Summary: Resource monitoring widgets causes Plasma Shell to use
more and more memory/Plasma Shell does not free up
memory
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.19.5
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: System Monitor
Assignee: notm...@gmail.com

Target Milestone: 1.0

Journalctl output
SUMMARY
When adding a resource monitoring widget, the text in the widget will distort.
After rebooting the system, Plasma Shell will continually use more and more
memory. After 3 days of use without rebooting, Plasmashell itself was using
more than a GiB of memory. I don't know if it's related at all, but the
continual memory usage of Plasma Shell increases when the text distorts.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create/add resource managing widget, either pie or bar graph
2?. Change widget option colors
3?. Resize widget
4?. Change widget from pie to line or visa versa.
5?. Add sensor details
6. Reboot system
OBSERVED RESULT
Widget sensor detail text will either disappear or will partially disappear
(I.E "Write speed" will become "Wr..." I have reason to believe this issue and
the widgets itself is what is causing this, as removing all resource monitoring
widgets will "solve" the issue, as Plasma Shell will not use up any memory
anymore.
Plasma Shell's memory usage will increase by 1-5 mebibytes per minute. Within 3
days without rebooting, Plasma Shell by itself uses more than a GiB of memory.
Valgrind reports nothing out of the ordinary besides high memory usage and
allocation.
EXPECTED RESULT
Expected valgrind to output many errors and possibly reports of a memory leak,
but nothing seems wrong.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

I have attached Valgrind logs, but they show nothing wrong. I have also
attached journalctl logs.
