From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021203 Description of problem: Recently i upgraded RH Linux 7.3 to RH 8.0. There is a memory leak in gnome-terminal. I think that the history buffer is leaking. When i start 'top' ane leave it for a while, the 'gnome-terminal' process size grows each second, and in a few minutes grows over 100MB. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the gnome terminal 2. Start 'top' 3. Wait few minutes Actual Results: The size of the terminal in memory grown to 100MB, swap grown over 300MB Expected Results: The memory size should been approx. constant. Additional info: Version number: bash-2.05$ gnome-terminal --version Gnome gnome-terminal 2.0.1 bash-2.05$
