I am running gnome-shell on 3 desktops and my current session is running for days and memory usage is stable around 230MB.
The leak as discussed in the bug comes from certain extensions. I do not think it qualifies as leaks as "hell".
- k_bx 8y agoIf you just press "Super" multiple times does RAM usage go up? Was quite reproducible for me last time I've checked.
- vetinari 8y agoAnd later goes down, as it gets GC-ed.
- cweagans 8y agoDid you read the bug report? The entire problem is that GC isn't working right. See https://feaneron.com/2018/04/20/the-infamous-gnome-shell-memory-leak/ https://feaneron.com/2018/04/20/the-infamous-gnome-shell-mem... for more info.
- tomtheelder 8y agoJust tried this on my machine and it caused no increase in RAM usage. Hit it ~100 times. Edit: Actually it is increasing memory usage, but on the order of like 1MB per 5 key presses. That would probably become an issue on a long enough timescale.
