Possible memory leak #106

Open ra50 opened 1 year ago

ra50 commented 1 year ago

I've had just a couple notes for a long while and created a couple more recently. Few paragraphs of text. I noticed sticky.py using about 1 GB of memory in Xfce's task manager. After closing and reopening, it was using 80 MB. System uptime is over 2 months and sticky.py was probably running all of that time so it seems to indicate some kind of long-running memory leak. Is there a way to get better diagnostics on this the next time I observe it?

This may be related. I wrote 7 notes (~150 words each), and the application is using about 3.5GB of memory. I've attached an image with htop filtered to "sticky.py". with all the current notes shown, but pixelated. I am running linux mint and notes came with an update I believe. Untitled
