Summary | 0007690: memory leak in story editor when switching between SE and canvas | ||||
Description | When performing multiple Search/Search-and-Replace operations within the Story Editor each successive search operation fills greater amounts of system memory. Even after exiting the Story Editor, none of the reserved memory is ever retuned to the Operating System as free. I have observed the amount of RAM reserved by the Scribus process exceed 3.5-GB of system memory due to this bug. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | (1) Open an fairly large Scribus document with say 50-pages of text... (2) Make note of the amount of RAM reserved by the Scribus process in top/GNOME System Monitor, etc... (3) Perform multiple search and search/search-and-replace operations within the same Story Editor instance... (4) Watch the amount of RAM used by Scribus grow... (5) Repeat Searches/Replace functions until you are satisfied that you have reproduced the issue. Try not to crash your system or beat-up your swap partition too much in the process. :-) | ||||
Additional Information | It might be wise to add a hot key for the Search function. If you don't want to use CTRL+F, consider using the older standby F3 for this purpose. If you require additional information, please let me know. | ||||

My testings have not allowed me to reproduce any noticeable issue related to search and replace. However an important memory leak issue can be reproduced using one of this way : 1) new doc, new text frame, insert dummy text, open story editor, switch between story editor and canvas and watch memory usage grow 2) new doc, new text frame, insert dummy text, clear content, insert dummy text, clear content, ... and watch memory usage grow This specific issue is now fixed |
|
Are you able to retest with current svn? We are unable to reproduce your specific steps however Jean has found other issues. |
