Have had the memory leak issues since moved to 15.04, not seen any consistent/persistent CPU spikes though...
Services affected are consistently unity-panel-service and hud-service. I run a virtual host and daily use Chrome and virt-viewer/virt- manager/bash. Don't use GIMP and don't have any other indicators running beyond the Chrome popups for Hangouts and browser extensions i.e. Sabnzbd. The only problem I repeated encounter is the main title bar where my user name, date/time and indicators are freezes, I notice this as the time is obviously wrong. I just kill the 2 offending services which have grabbed most of the memory and everything reverts to normal. ** Attachment added: "Screen short of memory leakage" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1199877/+attachment/4428754/+files/Screenshot%20from%202015-07-14%2014%3A05%3A37.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

Using shortcuts is enough and faster to reproduce this bug (I've always used Ctrl+A and Ctrl+Shift+A). Memory usage of unity- panel-service increases steadily and it uses a lot of CPU shortly after activating the menu items in a short time. Regression potential: check that the menus are stable/working as they should --------- Just going about my business on Ubuntu Raring amd64 on an x230 and I heard the fan kick into action. top showed me that unity-panel-service was consuming all the free cycles on one of my CPUs. I killed it before my machine overheated, so I didn't attach a debugger to see why it was totally pegging out a CPU. I'm not sure if this adds any context, but I was using a LibreOffice spreadsheet and I could not insert a table because the menu had lost it's mind, and then I observed the overly loaded CPU a very short while after that.
