Memory Leak #72

Open grego1965 opened 9 years ago

grego1965 commented 9 years ago

I found a memory leak. Bring up 2 terminal windows via the pinned terminal icon. On one, I run top to see the cinnamon memory usage. Now move the mouse back and forth over the terminal icon, slow enough that the thumbnails appear and disappear. Watch how cinnamon's RES usage climbs pretty fast.

This occurs on this latest git-hub one, as well as the one from spices.cinnamon.com. Running Linux Mint 17.1 w/ Cinnamon 2.4.6

I believe the problem is not your app. I ran the Garbage Collector app and it appears to bring the memory total back down. At issue is why Cinnamon is not garbage collecting.
