Same leak in 15.08. I'm using Fedora 22 and Kate Version 5.0.0. When I close the Kate window, Kate process is still running in the background yet the window is gone. When I go to open another file associated with Kate, it opens in the background process and no window is displayed. I have to use "killall kate" to remove the processes from the background and see Kate again. Same with my configuration. When I firstly open files from Dolphin associated with Kate everything seems good. After I close Kate the window disappears but the process is still running in the background. "Open with -> Kate" from Dolphin for the second time doesn't make a Kate-Window to appear - just a process in the background. After rebooting my system Kate opens many <untitled>-Windows for all the kate-processes that were still in the background I didn't kill by myself. I'm using openSUSE Tumbleweed, Kate Version 15.0.8, KDE Frameworks 5.17.0, Qt 5.5.1 About me, mostly https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344879 is caused by Kate/KTextEditor. I disable all plugins - same leak. Run the script like that sudo ./start_kate.sh -> not leaks at all [toni@toni-sony Downloads]$ sudo ./start_kate.sh [toni@toni-sony Downloads]$ QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root' http://oi63.tinypic.com/t4zajt.jpg - with sudo http://oi64.tinypic.com/2h5mt4x.jpg - without sudo It' Breeze style, discard this bug request. My bad, Kate is best editor :) |
I can't notice who is responsive for this, Kate, itself, KTextEditor or plugin. Closing Kate not cleaning resources from Xorg. Make simple script #!/bin/bash for i in {1..10} do kate & done for test purpose :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start script above 2. Xorg ram usage increases a lot 3. Close all Kate instances 4. No resources are clean 5. Start script again, Xorg leaks extremly high Actual Results: Huge leak in Xorg Expected Results: Normal ram usage, cleaning resources at exit
