Windows - After reaching an amount over 1 GB Ram memory, Midori stopps responding and shows weird behaviour

[Roland Haslinger]

After reaching a memory amount of something over 1 GB, Midori is unable to show any Webpages, all content in tabs just gets white or shown pages get distorted and Tab Bar is showing a general weird behaviour - scroll arrows on the left and on the right are disappearing and also Tab Bar gets distorted.

Happens on Windows 7 and Windows 8!

Some kind of memory leak or trouble handling more Ram under windows?

Steps to reproduce will be more helpful here so that I can try to reproduce on my side.

Well, steps to reproduce.. i did nothing special, just having around 50+ tabs open and was browsing until the memory usage reached around 1400-1600 mb - there is no fixed value when it started to bug out, something in between.

As written above, tab bar scroll arrows disappeared, even when refreshing tabs, they stay empty, or sites got distorted.

Systems i have in use are Windows 7 and Windows 8, both 64 Bit with 4-8 GB Ram.

Have done right now some more tests, switching off with the status bar buttons both Flash and Javascript.

Problem seems to be related to the libjavascriptcoregtk-3.0-0.dll file. When Javascript is not activated Midori easily passes the 1.6 GB Ram usage and still works.

When Javascript is activated, Midori bugs out and crashes thanks to libjavascriptcoregtk-3.0-0.dll!

Problem is therefor the Javascript dll - seems to be a greater flaw!

Yes, my assumption was also like you that Garbage Collection etc are not present so that's why the site which are like JS heavy are causing this, I manage to replicate it by opening Octane benchmark, Kraken benchmark and JS Mem benchmark at a time.

They have to enable DFG JIT.

Would be nice to see a bugfix coming up in the next few Versions for this, would make the Windows Version so much more nicer to use!
