This is on X11, I assume? Do you by any chance have any 3rd-party KCMs installed? Yes, this is on X11. AFAIK I don't have any 3rd-party KCMs installed. I am not sure we'll be able to do anything here unless you can narrow down when the leak appears. Hi - are you able to watch the memory consumption as you use the app, and identify specifically when usage spikes? I have tried to replicate the behaviour, but failed so far. I have been able to make memory consumption grow to 400+ MB, however, just by visiting different KCMs. Anything large that doesn't happen for everyone is almost always graphics memory which often get fixed by 3rd party changes. Can you confirm if this is still an issue? I can confirm I haven't seen this again. Thanks to everyone for their work. |
Created attachment 179310 [details] Screenshot SUMMARY System Settings appears to have a memory leak somewhere, as I found it taking more than 800 MB of memory. This happened while displaying the audio settings, but the application had been opened for a few hours, during which I used various pages (KWin, theme, display, audio...). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open System Settings 2. ? OBSERVED RESULT System Settings takes a lot of RAM. EXPECTED RESULT System Settings keeps RAM usage low and constant.
