Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
I have been testing Unity 2d under Maverick and I noticed that Unity Places leaks arround 260 mb of Ram of my 1gb whenever I perform a search on it's search box. It only happens if I keep the letters typed in the box (In current version the search box doesn't clear when Places launches the application) There is no problem whenever I clear the search box before Places exit out. Software Center says my current version is: 0.4-0ubuntu1~bzr405
Last time "Upgraded" was February 11.
Here's a screenshot attached from Unity Places leaking over 270 mb.
Hope this helps :)

Thanks for the bug report Mariano.
So, leaking memory is when the memory is never released during the lifetime of the process. I think what you are seeing here is rather a high usage of memory when search results are displayed.
Can you start a search and then execute the following in a terminal and capture the entire output?
