Memory leaking during regular usage
Bug Summary
I recently noticed, that Geary leaks quite a lot of memory for me. After startup it is normally around 180MB, after one day of usage around 500MB and after another day around 800MB.
I can not remember, that it was that worse in previous versions.
Your installation
- Geary version: 3.34.1
- Geary revision:
- GTK version: 3.24.12
- GLib version: 2.62.1
- WebKitGTK version: 2.26.1
- Desktop environment: GNOME
- Distribution name: Fedora
- Distribution release: 31
- Installation prefix: /usr
Steps to reproduce
- Just during regular usage
What happened?
To help tracking down the problem, I generated a valgrind
log using valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --log-file="valgrind.log" geary
. This was generated letting Geary run for 3 minutes. You find it attached.
I am definitely not an expert with valgrind
but for me it looks like, it is leaking all over the place, especially in other progrmas as well. So please feel free to close if inappropriate for Geary or ask me for other logs.
And I know, those "memory leak"-bug reports are awful, I am sorry.
What did Geary do that was unexpected?
Leaking that much memory.
What did you expect to happen?
Leaking not that much memory.
