I recently started having this same problem in Hardy.

It didn't start until after I moved the bottom panel to the left side. I'm unable to consistently reproduce it, but it happens about once or twice a day now.

and the memory has been slowly growing for the last 43 minutes. I know it's been 43 minutes because the clock stopped updating when the panel froze.
