Simple reproducer that shows a leak in unity-panel-service (there may be other scenarios that cause a leak too):
1) Open a terminal and watch the RSS size of the unity-panel-service process: watch -n 0.5 ps -o rss= `pgrep unity-panel` 2) The value reported should stabilize 3) Launch gedit. Observe the value goes up a bit 4) Quit gedit. Observe that the value does not go down 5) Launch gedit. Observe that the value goes up again -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1199877 Title: unity-panel-service pegs one of my CPUs at 100% To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-consumption/+bug/1199877/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
