Bug Report Possible memory leak, projector preview

[Johan Blome]

I tried both the ppa version and a build from latest source in a fresh installation of Ubuntu 16.04 and found out that I had a problem when using the full screen projector preview (on a secondary monitor). I notised in the system monitor that my memory allocation started to climb as soon as this was enabled. When the preview was closed memory consumption stopped at the level it was and the memory was never released.

I started to look for this since I had some problem because the system started to swap like mad when OBS reached 12GB...
At first I thought that it was the property bug discussed elsewhere on this forum but testing OBS without opening a property still consumed memory. Anyone else seen this?

Sounds similar to one I found, this is even with the xbs message leak bug fixed.

I did not notice the cpu problem. I will check if I see that. My lockup was due to swapping (disk constantly working).

Ok. Somebody else reported this earlier, for some reason I did not see it before while searching the forum.

Sorry.

Did a fresh installation of Ubuntu (Kubuntu) 16.04.1 LTS and the problem cannot be seen there. So, my problems are gone.

Well, I was wrong. It is back. The solution is to kom using the preview projection.

This also occurs on windows 10. Any work around?
