Description of problem: gedit is eating tons of Mb, allocating 89Mb every time a 500byte file is opened Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gedit-2.30.4-1.fc14.x86_64 (FC14 updated this morning) How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. start gedit, look at memory usage with "ps" 2. open a very small file (~512b), look again at memory usage 3. repeat 2, 3 times... Actual results: Every time a small file (less than 1kb!) is opened, gedit consistently use 69 more Mb of resident memory... Expected results: A reasonable amount of memory is used, slowly increasing as more files are opened in new tags. Additional info: fresh startup: 17531 a 20 0 613m 19m 13m S 0.0 1.0 0:00.33 gedit after opening one small file (around 500bytes): 17531 a 20 0 682m 88m 14m S 0.0 4.5 0:01.04 gedit after opening 2 small files: 17531 a 20 0 750m 157m 14m S 0.0 7.9 0:02.65 gedit after opening 3 small files: 17531 a 20 0 819m 226m 14m S 0.0 11.4 0:04.21 gedit after opening 4 small files: 17531 a 20 0 888m 294m 14m S 0.0 14.8 0:05.79 gedit Each file was in the 500byte - 1.5kb, however gedit eats 69Mb for each new tab... For a grand total of 275Mb of RAM in order to edit 4 very small files!
While it was reproducable for nearly a month, it looks like some update fixed it.
