Zed crashing the display driver
Summary
~~On linux kde neon 6.3 using and amd gpu when opening the extensions menu the display driver will crash.~~
Description
- Navigate to the extensions menu
- Search anything
- Screens go back (presumably display driver crashing)
Actual Behavior: - Expected Behavior: -
~~Interestingly enough this does not happen with any other application which leads me to believe it's one of the low level features sending commands with excessive bounds or just malformed commands that soft-fail on other display drivers.~~
~~There's no useful logs in zed or dmesg due to the nature of gpu display drivers crashing which are typically only possible to debug with running the kernel in highly verbose mode. Was wondering if there's someone that has experienced similar issues before I go poking around in the mesa/amd drivers.~~
~~It could also be wayland crashing, but same issue happens on x11 so doubtful, wayland-x11 could also be related?~~
On linux it seems to memory leak 100+GB. Navigation makes it exponentially worse.

Hmm, I wonder if the issue is that we completely consume some resource such as GPU, CPU, or RAM, causing the screen to go black but no errors to show up in the kernel log. It might be worth looking into some way of tracking GPU, CPU, etc usage levels over time and seeing if any of them spike before the screen goes black.
Additionally, I recommend taking a look at syslog or systemd logs in user space to look for user-space issues as it may be the X11/wayland server crashing outside of the kernel
Looks like it doesn't happen anymore after updating to latest versions for everything so it was either mesa, zed or wayland 🤷.
Looks like it was something entirely different, zed is using up all the memory >150gb!! which OOM killed plasmashell which made the screens go black. Need instructions on how to get diagnostic information.
It's also crashing my gpu on cachyos with latest updates when selecting text. Just open a file and use the mouse to select any text.
Hey @duckarp that's probably #23288 or a different GPU related issue. Please create a new issue if no existing issues seem to be the same problem you're having
@DeprecatedLuke, is the issue still occurring only when searching extensions? There are a few memory leak issues open currently, I recommend searching through them and seeing if any of them seem applicable. If none do we can work to figure out where the excess memory usage is coming from in your case
