System Activity screenshot
I've opened and closed a bunch of Dolphin instances. Only one window of Dolphin is actually active on the desktop (the one with the icon next to it, that also has a window title).

ps aux output
Output from `ps aux`, where one can see left over Dolphin, file.so, and trash.so processes.
I'd like to note that file.so and trash.so tend to slowly die off, however Dolphin processes stay around forever.
This does not appear to be an issue any more after upgrading to: - Dolphin 21.04.1 (from 21.04.0) - KDE Plasma 5.21.5 - KDE Frameworks 5.82.0 - Linux: Linux 5.12.5-gentoo QT version remained at 5.15.2. Not sure which bump fixed it as they got installed onto my box with the same upgrade. |
SUMMARY Closing Dolphin window will not terminate the process or it's relevant file.so and trash.so. Opening a new Dolphin instance will launch a new process and friends. With time these processes accumulate depleting resources, mainly RAM. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Dolphin 2. Close Dolphin 3. GOTO 1 OBSERVED RESULT Dolphin window closes, but process does not die. Process cannot be brought to the foreground again or used for anything. EXPECTED RESULT Dolphin and it's related {file|trash}.so processes die when the window is closed. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux 5.12.0-gentoo (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.81.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - No session restore is used.
