I may have reported this late or it was a different application because it seems to be working itself out now saw it get up to 2.6gb then drop back down to 362mb which seems perfect for my 32gb system I'll close this now!

Comment 3 tcaptainpancake 2025-02-12 02:10:00 UTC

Thank you for the bug report! This looks to be the same issue as Bug 480693.

I'm marking this as a duplicate of that one, since the other has developer involvement. You can follow the progress of this issue in the other report.
