In Ubuntu 20.04 (with the newest packages) the leak is present. After logging in the memory usage of gnome-shell is 208MB. After pushing Super+A it jumps to 213MB and stay there. After lock/unlock the screen it jumps to 270MB and stays there. Repeated Super+A and lock/unlock seems to do no further changes. After launching firefox it jumps to 290MB and stays there. Closing firefox and launching it again it jumps to 300MB and stasy there. Repeatedly launching firefox (and other apps like terminal, files, settings, etc.) seems to do just small ~100-500kB jumps. Now it sits on 306MB.
