Bug ID: 150948
Summary: LibreOffice using too much RAM for no reason
especially while left to run in the background
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.0.3 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer

Screenshots of RAM usage (I don't know what else I can share since this happens
with literally any document, big or small)
OS: Windows 10 Home 21H2 OS Build 19044.1989
LibreOffice version: 7.4.0.3
Issue: LibreOffice Writer uses too much RAM if left in the background for a
while (the excessive RAM usage usually starts after a few hours in the
background but sometimes it runs for days without guzzling RAM). RAM usage
increases by about 20-40 MB per minute when it starts taking more RAM. However,
I do not have any other information since this is a totally random bug and I
don't know what triggers it. I only have screenshots from Task Manager showing
it consuming large amounts of RAM for a 2-page document.
The first time it took up too much RAM however, Windows' Task Manager reported
that Writer took 500 MB only (it was 4.7 GB according to the RAM usage graph
since it was at 10.6 GB usage before I closed Writer and 5.9 GB after I closed
it). The second and third time however, Task Manager has correctly reported RAM
usage at 2.1-2.4 GB.
How to reproduce: Happens at random, but this issue usually happens if I leave
LibreOffice open in the background for a while without saving.
