Bug ID: 156791
Summary: LibreOffice 7.5.5 has memory leak
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.5.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I installed LibreOffice 7.5.5.2. I was using LibreOffice Writer and had it open
for the course of 2 days. Over those 2 days Writer slowly was consuming more
and more RAM and eventually Writer was consuming nearly 5 GB of RAM just to
render a 2 page document. Eventually my computer froze and Writer crashed and
I'm disappointed because my 2 days of work is gone (I never saved; Google Docs
habits).
I then uninstalled version 7.5.5.2 and am going to try using v7.4.7 instead and
hopefully it is more stable. If not I'll have to find a different document
editor or create my own, but I'm already busy writing my own code editor from
scratch in Rust (a language that prevents memory leaks) because Vim doesn't
suit my wants.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install LibreOffice 7.5.5.2 on x86-64 Windows 11
2.Use LibreOffice writer for 2 days
3.LibreOffice writer should start using a ton of RAM and eventually crash.
Actual Results:
I was writing my page in proper MLA format just in case it was formatting on
the page causing it to use a ton of RAM.
Expected Results:
The writer was using nearly 3 GB of RAM and nearly 2 GB of GPU RAM. 5 KB worth
of text shouldn't need 3 GB of RAM.
Reproducible: Didn't try
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
The software should use a small amount of RAM and not crash. I've used MS Word
and Google Docs a long time and never had issues with them. It's sad the first
time I try using LibreOffice instead that it's buggy.
