SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start selected screen recording with spectacle
2. observe memory consumption


OBSERVED RESULT

Spectacle consumes all 32 Gb of memory in about 90-120 seconds of recording, if I'm lucky oom-killer kills the app, if not the whole system hangs

EXPECTED RESULT

Spectacle should consume limited and finite amount of memory

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 38
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.6
