Description Pascal d'Hermilly 2008-12-16 12:50:57 UTC

Version:           1.3.50 (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When tabs in akregator are closed, the memomy they consumed is not deallotcated. At least that it the way it looks.
Some test I performed:
Fresh start of akregator with no tabs: 
  memory: 16 M
  shared memomy: 21 M
After opening 4 external webpages with blogs:
  memory: 36 M
  shared memory: 24 M
After closing the 4 tabs:
  memory: 36 M
  shared memory: 25 M

The numbers where found by ksysguard.

It is my impression that akregator should deallocate the 20 MB of used memory and drop back to around 16 MB.

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of akregator (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
