My findings are the following: 1. The issue probably is something in TopPanel and I believe is something with a hungry applet and not latte and probably how qml works 2. Let me give you some infos: in QML that Plasma is based up on when something is created it takes up some memory, when that QML-thing is deleted is not releasing that memory directly. At least this is what Plasma/Qt devs are saying. Finding memory leaks in QML I really do not have any idea what is the proper way to track them down and identify them. To test this you can do the following. Add a secodary plasma panel. Play a bit with that newly created plasma panel and delete afterwards. You will NOT notice a memory drop. Qt/Plasma devs are saying that QML based on memory criteria at some point will release that memory either because it will understand that is not used any more either because the system's memory is reaching a critical point. I used your layout but with NO following applets which are not present in my system: - launchpadPlasmaMod - org.communia.apptitle - org.kde.plasma.bigSur-inlineBatter - org.kpple.kppleMenu - SimplePager I tried to reproduce the MemoryIrrational bug and reached at about 390Mbyte this is by triggering applets popups such Networks, Bluetooth, Clock, Systray and switching between different windows. The more I was using this the more the increase was lower and lower so I think it is increasing but at some point it will probably stop. 7. In your system have you reached in memory usage more than 800Mbyte? IN ORDER TO CONFIRM THAT THIS IS NOT LATTE SPECIFIC RELATED, I added a Plasma Empty Panel and added in it the mentioned applets, Global Menu, SysTray, Bluetooth, Clock, Networks and replicated the user behavior. Same memory findings were found, plasmashell process was increasing but lower increase at each time. I think the most hungry was the Networks applet. Based on previous testing I am not sure that this is Latte-related or Plasma-related or QML-related. The bug report will remain OPEN for all future users that would like to be informed about this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
