Public bug reported: Creating a window, adding some widgets, ie. toggle button, a viewport .. then for example on the viewport (or even on the main window ) widget, select 'signals' and develop the "GtkWidget>" to show all the signals ... immediately, the memory usage of the computer starts growing very fast, leading to an unstable system ( 4GB ram full , starting to swap, after a few minutes, if you leave glade at this state of displaying the signals listing ) it stops right when minimizing back the "GtkWidget->" signals section. For what i've been testing, the memory leak happens for every widget's signals->Gtkwidget-> display.
