SUMMARY Each time I open an audio file in Audacity, the memory usage of Kwin increases and is never freed even if I close Audacity. I also observe hitches when I change the accent color or the theme. Freeze duration is proportional to amount of leaked memory. I already opened an issue to the Klassy theme project thinking that the issue was coming from there. (https://github.com/paulmcauley/klassy/issues/260). But the memory leak also happens with the Breeze theme and Klassy removed from the system and is way worse with the Plastik windows decorations. I also opened this bug previously (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=514810). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a file explorer in a directory with audio files 2. Open Audacity 3. Drag the audio file from the file explorer to Audacity and undo with Ctrl+Z 4. Repeat the step 3 multiple times, and see memory usage of kwin. OBSERVED RESULT Memory usage of kwin increases EXPECTED RESULT Memory usage of kwin doesn't increase SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux Version: 6.18.7.arch1-1 KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.22.0 Qt Version: 6.10.2 Audacity Version: 3.7.7
Does this happen with a newly created users, without any modifications?
Yes. I reproduced the issue on 2 different PC and a virtual machine.
