Huge memory leak.

[Xrey274]

Description

Using an autoclicker by accident I opened a few dozen(hundred) apps at the the same time. Some time later (long after I had closed them all), I noticed that I was running out of memory, my pc completely freezing for minutes at a time (16 GB). Then I saw that budgie-panel was using 14.2 GB.

Budgie version

Version name of Budgie, i.e. Budgie 10.4 OR specific git commit. Budgie Desktop 10.5.3-240

Operating system

Solus 4.3

Steps to reproduce the issue

Open and close (possibly using an autoclicker) an app from the panel many times (could be >100)

Actual result

Huge memory leak.

Expected result

No memory leak.

I've experienced this too in Solus 4.3, budgie-panel memory keep increasing every second without me doing anything

[BryanEgbert]

after i reinstall the OS due to some misconfiguration that leads to my laptop unable to boot, the memory leak is gone, idk what is the cause of the memory leak, but i stick with the default budgie panel configuration
