SUMMARY kpat 3.6 has probably a memory leak. It uses a lot of memory, until it starts to swap, and then becommes totally unusable. Please see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1687106 STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I think this should be fixed meanwhile (in 19.04) by https://cgit.kde.org/kpat.git/commit/?id=56b4426d764c87d0c8b846b19e3fe6ca34775155
Pierre can you confirm which kpat version does your distribution package manager says you're using?
I am in Fedora 29 (and I was not able to upgrade to Fedora 30). kpat --version says it is in version 3.6. rpm version is kpat-18.12.2-1.fc29.x86_64. Thanks, Regards
Ok, then let's say it was fixed in 19.04 and you don't still have it. Please reopen this issue if you can still reproduce it after fedora updates to kde applications 19.04
