Starting new activities, switching activities, adding and removing widgets, opening and closing programs and windows, and switching desktops all cause the amount of memory plasma-desktop consumes to increase. When closing windows, widgets, etc., memory is not freed. Plasma-desktop continues taking up ram. I am using the default desktop effects settings with this openSUSE install, with the "radeon" kernel driver. I also have noticed Xorg use high amounts of memory and CPU time on occasion, and don't know if these two things are related. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the things I listed above 2. Observe the ram consumption in ksysguard 3. Close widgets, applications, windows, etc. Actual Results: Ram was not freed. Expected Results: plasma-desktop should free ram after closing things I listed above. This is a major problem, especially in a server environment, and there have been past bug reports about this issue that were marked as fixed. Obviously it's not fixed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
