Created attachment 130928 [details] Memory consumption SUMMARY: My KDE Plasma desktop is brand new. Currently, I have only one bottom panel, with a system tray, digital clock, task manager and a menu plasmoid on the panel (whatever comes by default). No dynamic wallpaper. After logging in to Plasma, the memory consumption of the "plasmashell" process hovers at around 100MB. After about 10 mins of web browsing and other stuff, the memory consumption goes to around 200MB. Not only that, on changing settings and adding/removing widgets (i.e., configuring the desktop), the memory consumption increases rapidly. It stops increasing once I stop doing those. According to me, this might be a memory leak issue, because the memory consumption only increases and never decreases unless I restart Plasma. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Note the memory consumption of the "plasmashell" process just after logging in. 2. Do anything or change some settings and then note the memory usage. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: Ubuntu 20.04 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.12.8

Is this still happening in a recent version of Plasma, like 6.2.5 or later?
