Title:
mouse pointer shows "wait" icon repetitively while leaking memory
Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
After some extended use (eg 2 hours of continuous use of filters,
eraser, drawing, multiple layers) gimp starts leaking around 3MB
memory per second. It allocates large amounts of memory repetitively
with close to 1 second interval. Each time it does this the mouse
pointer turns in to the "wait" symbol. It is still possible to use the
program while this happens but the pointer constantly flickering is a
bit distracting.
However, if ignored, gimp will eventually consume all system memory in
a very short amount of time. I have 16 GB and gimp has been OOM killed
twice today after showing the behaviour for an extended period. The
second time it happened while I was working in a different
application.
Here is a video showing the behaviour:
