Description cb-kde 2002-11-30 20:43:48 UTC

Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.0.9)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.5.47

To reproduce:

start KDE 3.1rc3. Load 2 xterms
in one, run top and sort by memory usage.
in the other type konqueror http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/

Leave for some time. Observe that the memory usage (VIRT in top 3.1.0) has increased substantially.

This memory is not reclaimed if browsing continues to a different site.

Plugin support is disabled.

Expected behaviour:
Memory usage is constant once the page has been loaded.

Xfree86 4.2.1 no NVidia or other proprietry drivers.

I have reproduced your difficulty in reproducing this :)

I tried again this morning and the memory leak did not occur until I played 
with Konqueror a bit. I moved the windows around, selected and deselected 
text and hovered over the popup menus for a bit. Once I'd done that the 
memory leak behaviour started and Konqueror gradually increased its memory 
usage.

I then reloaded Konqueror, and found that the memory leak started straight 
away.

In order to help you reproduce what I'm doing, I describe what I've done in 
more detail.

X is 1024x768 with 16bit colour.
There are two xterms, one in the top left, one at the bottom right
The xterm in the top left runs top
Place the mouse in the top left of the bottom right xterm
type konqueror http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/

I use Qt 3.1.0 using xft font rendering. Anti aliasing is enabled for all 
point sizes and not using sub-pixel rendering. Java and plugin support is 
disabled. I use the Light style 3rd revision.

It seems there's some sort of timing issue which triggers it.

Reopening, as I have supplied more detail on reproducing it.

Comment 4 cb-kde 2003-11-15 10:46:26 UTC

Can't determine if this is fixed due to http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68262

Comment 5 cb-kde 2003-12-03 21:41:20 UTC

Seems to have gone away...
