Package: scite
Version: 5.2.0-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
For several days, two of my computers have been experiencing multiple
out of memory conditions every day, in normal usage (browser, several
applications). That would be understandable with 1 GB of RAM, but not
with 16 and 32 GB of RAM, respectively.
It was easy to see that the X server ended up consuming most of the
system's RAM (top & htop show it), and that this RAM was shared memory
(/proc/meminfo). But the increase rate was completely erratic, I
didn't find the pattern for a while.
Killing the X server or the display manager which launched it fixed
the issue, obviously. But doing that multiple times per day and
re-opening the session every time (even with KDE's partial session
restore, SciTE is one of the applications for which it does not work)
is not a good workaround.
Pinpointing the faulty application was harder. I eventually found the
unrelated
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1884850
which mentioned xrestop. After installing it, using it... and showed
gigabytes of pixmaps attributed to scite. Huh ?
Playing around with the application showed that just switching to
another window, and back, was enough for the memory consumption caused
by scite to jump up by dozens of MBs, sometimes hundreds. No wonder
the computers explode after a while; also, that explains the erratic
increase in the amount of memory consumed by the X server - if I
don't switch to an affected instance of scite, then the resources
attributed to that instance does not spontaneously increase
significantly over time.
Reverting to the older 5.1.6 version thanks to
https://snapshot.debian.org/binary/scite/
makes the issue go away on both computers. Phew. So I selected this
package for holding the version.
For now, I set the severity to important in case it's just me, plus I
don't know whether SciTE itself is the root culprit, or whether a
change in SciTE uncovered an issue in one of the dependencies.
Regards,
Lionel Debroux.
