Hi - merging this in with an existing bug report where investigation has been going on into kwin_wayland memory leaks with multi-screen setups. Thanks! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 496469 *** |
Created attachment 178931 [details] btop SUMMARY I have a problem with kwin_wayland. Over time, it uses more and more memory until system starts swapping and becomes unresponsive. This is very noticeable when I do web coding. I use JetBrains IDE and Firefox browser. I have these apps opened for a longer period of time (today it's for 2 hours), and eventually I have to restart my laptop because it becomes sooo slow. I have 32 GB of RAM, so that shouldn't be an issue. When I close all apps, kwin_wayland still sits on that memory and won't release it. I use built-in 4K screen with HDR + 2K external screen. Is there any way I could obtain more insights into what's happening and to send it to you? STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. For me just use JetBrains IDE + Firefox for longer period of time. OBSERVED RESULT Computer slow down until it's unusable and must be rebooted. EXPECTED RESULT No slow-downs.
