Title:
Memory leak in Gimp 2.8.6
Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I just upgraded from 13.10 from 13.04. My wife is a professional
photographer and relies on Gimp for the brunt of her editing.
After the upgrade, the system would routinely slow to a crawl while
she is working. This is on a modern system with 4GB of RAM.
We started watching memory usage in Top while she edited to try to see
what the problem was. Every time a new filter, plugin, tool, etc is
used - the used memory goes up and the free memory goes down. When the
tool/filter/plugin is finished, this memory is never freed back up.
This continues all the way until we are using swap space and things
then really slow to a crawl. Closing Gimp frees all of the memory,
then it will work fine again for a while during use until all the free
memory leaks over again, at which time she must save her work, close
gimp and start again.
