** Description changed: When gnome-system-monitor started it uses about 52-53Mb of memory. While it is running for a long period of time the amount of memory used by gnome-system-monitor is continuously growing. In ten days gnome-system- monitor uses already 7Gb. It makes the system start to use swap and it makes a negative impact on the whole system performance. After closing gnome-system-monitor and starting again it uses about the same 52-53Mb of RAM. It is noted that the memory consumption is growing significantly if the Resources tab with charts is opened for a long period of time. If the Processes tab is opened then there is a very small growth of memory consumption, probably even within the margin of error. + + Steps to reproduce: + 1. start gnome-system-monitor application + 2. open Processes tab + 3. find gnome-system-monitor process and remember how much memory it consumes + 4. open Resources tab and let it opened for a period of time. (1 hour, 4 hours, night, 1 day or more) Keep the application window opened somewhere on the screen as if you are monitoring charts. + 5. when a period of time is passed open Processes tab + 6. sort processes by Memory column + 7. find gnome-system-monitor process and check how much memory it consumes and compare with the number from step 3 + 8. go to step 4 to continue test for a longer period of time or stop the test with current results Expected Result: gnome-system-monitor uses about the same RAM regardless of how much time it is working Actual Result: gnome-system-monitor uses 7Gb of RAM after 10 days of working while right after start it normally uses about 52-53Mb of memory $ lsb_release -rd No LSB modules are available.
