I've noticed this behavior with Pidgin 2.5.2 under Intrepid. Steps to reproduce:
1) Bring up pidgin and top 2) Sort top by memory usage 3) Bring up the sound tab under preferences 4) Make sure you have a sound event selected for this next part 5) click on preview and note pidgin's memory usage Do it several times for added effect. -- Extreme memory leak in Pidgin when attempting to play sound https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200392 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
