** Summary changed: - hud- and unity-service increase memory usage and freeze firefox + Massive memory leak in unity-panel-service and hud-service when invoking the hud on certain Firefox Profiles
** Description changed: This is a follow-up of bug 964893. - Increased memory usage does not occur on guest account and not on laptop, both don't have compiz cube setup. So I'm aware this one won't have priority as it doesn't have standard setup, however it isn't a minority setup and might be worth an investigation. - There is again a ~2 GB increase of memory usage when opening hud on firefox full screen mode. - Firefox isn't responsible for ~2 min. - When it all (cpu, mem) settled switch to another workspace open e.g. gnome-system-monitor and close it again. - Switching back to the workspace where firefox is will immediately increase memory of firefox, hud- and unity-service. + unity-panel-service and hud-service quickly racks up memory until I kill + it when invoking the HUD on my friend's Firefox profile. It's taking + anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour, but it grounds the system + to a halt once it clogs up enough. + + 1. run Firefox in the foreground + 2. hit Alt to bring up HUD + 3. type any text + 4. select one proposal from HUD + + Creating and using a new profile presents no memory leaks of this sort, + so it is dependent on certain factors of one's profile. Workaround is to kill HUD by pid which will settle everything to normal values. The issue only correlates with firefox. GEdit, libreoffice, totem and others aren't affected.
