Bug Description
process nautilus which is ran automatically by system on startup using command "nautilus -n" grows big in memory.
normally after startup it is about 100 mb in ram - after few days it can get to over 1gb
ive ran it with valgrind - after startup it was above 200mb and after 2-3 days it grew to 1.6 gb
the command using which i ran valgrind is:
"G_DEBUG=
system: ubuntu 16.04 x86-64
not sure why it leaks, maybe it has something to do with the program that i use - i mean "variety" it changed desktop wallpaper several times a day. (maybe nautilus somehow grows because of it? no idea but im not using other fancy things here - just doing dev work on ubuntu.
im attaching valgrind log.
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
