Created attachment 1115607 [details] Sample file producing memory leak Description of problem: Memory leak occurs in inkscape when using svg files with a high stroke-miterlimit parameter (for example, generated by matplotlib >=1.5.1). It seems it is caused by a bug in inkscape renderer (see additional info for more details) I attached some samples : -sample_miterlimit100000_memoryleak.svg is the original file with miterlimit of 100000. The memory leak occurs on opening, and fills my 8GB ram in few seconds. -sample_miterlimit10_nomemoryleak.svg is the same file I edited and set every value of miterlimit to 10. No memory leak occurs (inkscape RAM usage stays under 300MB no matter what I do) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): inkscape 0.91 rev13725 15.fc23 x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open sample file sample_miterlimit100000_memoryleak.svg 2.Zoom in zoom out Actual results: Memory leak Inkscape freezes Expected results: Additional info: It was referenced and confirmed on inkscape rev13725 on inkscape bug tracker. It was apparently fixed in rev13966 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1533058 Current inkscape package on f23 and rawhide is rev13725, and is afflicted with said bug. Updating to a recent revision should fix this.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
