Archlinux [nautilus] 3.36.2 : Memory consumption grows beyond 1.5 GB when caching pictures (all formats)
Affected version
- Nightly flatpak: Can't test it because I'm on Archlinux and doing this interferes with its indigenous package management through pacman.
- Other:
Steps to reproduce
- Open nautilus and navigate to the folder containing about 50 mb of pics in png format.
- Nautilus starts caching and gradually becomes laggy.
- Memory consumption shoots to 1.5 GB without even opening any image files.
- Ultimately, nautilus becomes unresponsive and system freezes.
Current behavior
Nautilus becomes unresponsive on caching png files.
Expected behavior
Should cache without eating all system memory.
