memory leak/growth inserting new text
Edit: feel very uncertain about if this is due to a leak/bug
Steps to reproduce:
- reset preferences
- open inkscape
- use the text tool to type some text
- repeat a bunch of times
Problem 2 (first one is mostly fixed by MR, but this still remains)
- reset preferences
- open inkscape
- use the text tool to type a word
- use the text tool to type another word (separate)
- change font of one of them (I changed the typeface of one to EB Garamond)
- switch between the two text objects using the text tool
What happened?
Memory consumption slowly rises.
With preferences not reset, I was using Spectral (typeface) and creating some text (under 20 objects). Memory grew from 70 MB to 600 + MB while creating those text objects (each only a 5-7 words max). I edited them too (e.g. change size, line-height, typeface, reposition them)
Note, a) there was an bitmap image present, but testing shows it is not required. Nothing else in the file.
b) I have the ofl fonts from Google fonts in my .fonts directory, thats 1000 folders, presumably more fonts.
c) I haven't looked into this much, it may be a generic problem with the text toolbar, etc.
Creating this file took memory from 70 MB to 120 MB. That's fairly reasonable I suppose (more than I'd like). It doesn't add up with how much inkscape grew with my other file since it has more text objects.
What should have happened?
Less memory growth.
