There is a memory leak in desktop search krunner plugin. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Activate krunner with alt+f2, make sure desktop search plugin is enabled 2. Type "1+2+3" in krunner window Actual Results: Krunner uses 800MB+ RAM Expected Results: Krunner uses 20-40MB RAM, just as without desktop search plugin enabled This bug in Gentoo bugtracker: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508556
I have the same problem. I my case after typing "1+2+3" in memory consumption increases from ~0.5G to ~1.4G.
I've finally managed to confirm this. In my case, each additional term entered into the textbox ("1+2+3", "1+2+3+4", ...) increases memory consumption of the krunner process, and with 10 terms it is around 1G.
