To reproduce follow the steps of testcase 1510 and when you get to Click view and select memory viewed by cache as free reported memory should decrase. However this is already selected by default So clicking on it again will cause memory usage to increase is intended. Also making it unselect it makes sure that showing cache as free and not showing cache as free both work in lxtask.
the version of lxtask I am using is
lxtask:
Installed: 0.1.4-3.1ubuntu1
Candidate: 0.1.4-3.1ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 0.1.4-3.1ubuntu1 0

A version that changes the testcase that is correct for the new default is below

<dt>To check the readings against system, launch <em>LxTerminal</em> (Menu --> Accessories --> LxTerminal) and issue the command <em>top</em>. Please note that <em>top</em> reports in Kib, so there is a factor 1.024 difference between kB and Kib. </dt>
