Bug ID: 368838
Summary: plasmashell keeps eating ram, but never release it.
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.7.5
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: kokok...@gmail.com
CC: bhus...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org
On an always on system, my plasmashell memory usage grows and grows.
Last time i checked before restarting it, it was eating almost 900MB of ram.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. measure the memory usage of plasmashell just after startup
2. use it (open apps, display notifications, move widgets, show menu, clock,
calendar)
3. leave it as it was in the fresh state (close apps, close notifications
restore panel position etc)
3. measure the memory usage again
4. leave it alone for some time (30 minutes?)
5. check the ram usage again
Actual Results:
The ram usage increased a lot.
Expected Results:
The ram usage to be almost back to the startup state.
I attached pmap,ksysguard and /proc/$(pidof plasmashell)/status before and
after usage.
Where usage has been:
Show the 'kickoff menu' and walk through applications
send notifications
show notifications
show calendar
hover the mouse on the taskbar items
right click on the desktop to show his configuration window
right click on the desktop to show the activities window
move a desktop widget
resize a desktop widget to the entire screen size
click on the panel configuration icon
show the available widgets

Revert all of the changes so that apparently it is a newly started session
Before all the described operations, Resident+shared mem was little less than
300MB
After, it reached more than 630MB (!)
...and it stays that way (or still grows) till a restart.
