Bug Description
This behavior only began after installing 16.04 a few days ago. Watching BOINC Manager start with four running tasks, the memory utilization steadily creeps upward from about 30% and eventually it starts shutting down tasks, but has to be tricked into resetting the memory status.

If it is related to the Menu bar bug I reported earlier, then this one should be folded into that one (Bug 1574160) and the Bug Heat of that one should be increased. My initial research suggested that was the primary problem, but I'm not certain that the apparent bug isn't a design change with an unclear rationale... Maybe the Menu bar break is somehow masked by Firefox?
