--- Comment #6 from Wolf Icefang <[email protected]> --- I can back up that I'm having this issue as well, with LibreOffice 7.5.0 and also 7.4.5, running on my Windows 10 laptop. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open LibreOffice and put a bunch of text into it, or open a preexisting file. The file can be less than one page in length, but the bigger the document, the faster the RAM buildup. 2. Select some text. The more text you select, the more RAM you'll eat up in step 3. 3. Start scrolling up and down in the document. As you scroll, the RAM usage of LibreOffice will increase. Deselecting text does not reduce the amount of RAM used. 4. Eventually, the computer will run out of memory and Windows will start to kill applications. Running LibreOffice in safe mode will fix the issue completely, but if I reset to factory settings and run LibreOffice normally, the issue returns. Note: In a sufficiently complex document (perhaps related to embedded images, IDK) LibreOffice will leak memory just from scrolling around, and selecting text will just make the memory leak happen faster. For example, in a 7 page document with multiple images, form sections, etc, LibreOffice Writer in Safe Mode doesn't ever breach 250 MB of RAM usage, but without Safe Mode, scrolling to the bottom of the document (after selecting all text with Ctrl+A) pushes RAM usage over 3.1 GB. Scrolling back to the top increases that number to 4.46 GB! Please bump this bug from "normal" to "major". It causes LibreOffice to crash and sometimes Windows decides to close other applications as well. I have to either (a) keep Windows Task Manager on my screen to closely monitor my RAM usage, or (b) run LibreOffice Writer in Safe Mode for everything.
