Bug Description

Hi,

When I browse webp folders and open some webp pictures, gthumb start to consume a lot of ram each time I open a picture, till freeze the OS for complete.

I been using as webp browser since is the only ubuntu app that works with webP, but after viewing lets say... 20pics.. have to close it, and open it again.

Seems like each time it open a picture and close, it didn't free the memory, and keep increasing memory usage till freeze the whole PC.

This bug has been since webP support arrived. I was lazy to report it.

Ubuntu 16.04 updated.
4GB-RAM

(2 years ago I converted all my pictures to webP)
