I uninstalled latte-dock and there are no more hangs STEPS TO REPRODUCE Im going to list the last thing I was doing in latte dock as this happened after I tried adding some widgets so it could be that 1. found out grouping widget works in latte now 2. added grouping widget to side bar in the moe layout 3. added a few widgets to monitor temps, disk space, and netspeeds as well as a few systems controls like Bluetooth OBSERVED RESULT latte uses 17GB of ram causing the system to hang EXPECTED RESULT Latte use a few hundred MB of ram 1GB at most SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.72.0 Qt Version: 5.15.0 Kernel Version: 5.7.10-21-tkg-pds OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: GeForce GTX 1080/PCIe/SSE2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION here are some logs and other system info https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=5a9eaee02e
Created attachment 130499 [details] latte layout
Can you reproduce with Latte default layout?
I suppose you can also add your widgets one by one until you find out which widget is causing this. Latte can not take responsibility for widgets malfunctioning.

Group widget is a strange situation because it is considered a containment, like the systray case... So in Multiple Layouts mode is not supported at all yet. In Single layout mode I have no idea what is its behavior. Personally I dont even care, it will be the last thing I will take a look after all the other v0.10 requirements have been implemented. 1. Are you sure the memory leak occurs because of Group widget? 2. Either you will remove the relevant containment in the layout file manually, or you will remove the entire dock/panel that creates the issue after Latte has been loaded through, right click Dock->Edit Dock->Remove
Yeah I figured out how to remove it I just deleted all the containment sections that mentioned the widgets. And I tried adding them all again first without the group ing we widget and then with.... And no issues this time everything works. I'm using a single layout not multiple. So I guess either something didn't get written correctly to the layout the first time around or idk. Anyway everything works now and I'm using the grouping widget just fine What should I mark the issue as ?
leave it open and in case you find exact steps to reproduce please report back. After 2-3 months if there are no more information it will be closed.
the Group applet with latest commits is now supported also for Multiple Layouts mode... So this bug needs to be updated in case it is still valid...
