Description Benjamin Roeser 2024-02-25 08:17:16 UTC

SUMMARY
I noticed that my laptop was getting hot when it shouldn't have been doing anything. After looking at htop, I found that it was Dolphin using a single core at 100%. I had launched Dolphin a while ago and had minimized the window when I was done using it. It starts happening not long after I launch it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Dolphin.
2. Open a process monitor and observe.

OBSERVED RESULT
My laptop gets hot and the fan spins up.

EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin's process should be sleeping when I'm not interacting with the app.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0
Qt Version: 5.15.12
Linux: 6.7.4-arch1-1 (not sure this one is relevant)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm not entirely sure that Dolphin is not actually meant to be doing something. If that's the case, then I'm sorry I've wasted some of your time.
