Keep doing this and you will see the allocated objects keeps increasing and
increasing and
they are never released even if I close my Konsole window!
Thanks for the clear reproduction steps. With these, I can reproduce this
problem.
According to the GdiUsage tool this seems to be a GDI bitmap handle being
leaked. Unfortunately GdiUsage seems to have rusted a bit and doesn't
produce useful backtraces (and may well not be able to backtrace a cygwin
executable, anyhow) so locating exactly where the leak is coming from is going
to be a bit tricky...
The one thing I notice is that other applications with menus don't seem to
show this problem. The konsole I was testing with is relatively recent and
has menus with rounded corners, I wonder if that is somehow related to the
problem?
