DetailsDescription:
After full system package update, plasmashell memory occupation increases continuously. The allocated memory never gets deallocated. After 30 seconds, Plasmashell memory occupation runs to several hundred megabytes (600-800 MB), and continuously growing. After a short while the system becomes unusable as all the memory is taken by Plasmashell. Additional info: * package version(s): qt5-base-5.9.1-3 qt5-connectivity-5.9.1-2 qt5-declarative-5.9.1-3 qt5-graphicaleffects-5.9.1-1 qt5-location-5.9.1-2 qt5-multimedia-5.9.1-2 qt5-quickcontrols-5.9.1-2 qt5-quickcontrols2-5.9.1-2 qt5-script-5.9.1-2 qt5-scxml-5.9.1-1 qt5-sensors-5.9.1-2 qt5-serialport-5.9.1-2 qt5-speech-5.9.1-2 qt5-svg-5.9.1-2 qt5-tools-5.9.1-4 qt5-webchannel-5.9.1-2 qt5-webengine-5.9.1-3 qt5-webkit-5.212.0alpha2-4 qt5-websockets-5.9.1-2 qt5-x11extras-5.9.1-2 qt5-xmlpatterns-5.9.1-2 * config and/or log files etc. No custom configuration file Steps to reproduce: Log in KDE - Plasmashell executes as part of the desktop environment; Run KSysGuard to monitor memory occupation - other tools can be used; Watch memory occupation for program Plasmashell grow continuously ad you use KDE. Current workaround is to downgrade Qt packages to these versions: qt5-base-5.9.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qt5-connectivity-5.9.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qt5-declarative-5.9.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qt5-graphicaleffects-5.9.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qt5-location-5.9.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qt5-multimedia-5.9.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qt5-quickcontrols2-5.9.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qt5-quickcontrols-5.9.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qt5-script-5.9.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qt5-scxml-5.9.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qt5-sensors-5.9.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qt5-serialport-5.9.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qt5-speech-5.9.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qt5-svg-5.9.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qt5-tools-5.9.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qt5-webchannel-5.9.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qt5-webengine-5.9.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qt5-webkit-5.9.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qt5-websockets-5.9.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qt5-x11extras-5.9.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qt5-xmlpatterns-5.9.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz |

If I select a specific background image, Plasmashell does not grow in memory usage.
If I start changing background picture, every time I select a new one the memory usage grows (and memory is never released).
Why is this triggered by a Qt update?
I confirm this bug.
My 8Gio RAM (no swap) on my laptop is full (by plasmashell) and the system is unusable.
My 16Gio RAM (no swap) on my desktop is actually at 8.44Gio (by plasmashell).
My KDE are configured with background slideshow.
Thanks.
