--- Comment #11 from rob.d...@telus.net --- I have been playing with this occasionly and I cannot consistently make it happen. Then there is the wierd thing that happens with my laptop. From time to time it thinks that the battery has disappeared. When that happens plasmashell grabs a huge amount of memory, 3 gig, and never releases it. In my original report I observed the trouble when I opened the hamburger menu in kdeconnect. I have since seen it happen when opening in other widgets but again not consistently. Now I am pretty sure that some notifications trigger it as well. When I watch "top" for a while I can see the spikes when notifications arrive. Most of the added memory is only held for a short time but it doesn' quite get down to its previous level. With a fresh login and with my desktop set up to my taste I observed that plasmashell was holding on to 365512 according to top. After three days almost exactly, plasmashell was using 516484. I got started on this quest because my laptop was dying due to memory exhaustion. I then decided to compare it with my main computer. It hadn't been dying but I did observe the memory usage rising with time. I am currently on 5.27.3. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
