Bug ID: 131651
Summary: LO steadily increases memory usage until system
freezes (lots of files open)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.4.1.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: bjorn.wastvedt at gmail.com
Description:
My work requires me to open many Writer files simultaneously: say 5-10 100kb
documents (between 20 and 200 pages each). In addition to these, I have two
Calc files at about 500kb apiece. So, they're not huge documents, though I
suppose they're pretty complicated (cross-linked spreadsheets and
multi-language word processing documents with lots of formatting).
LO (newly reinstalled 6.4.1.2 on Debian 10/buster) has no problem opening all
of these. I organize them in several workspaces, alongside a bunch of pdfs and
some gedit documents and finally get to work. Ideally, I don't close these
windows or shut down the system, partly because it takes so long to get
everything organized for optimal productivity.
But after a day or so of saving, editing, etc., LO uses all of my memory and
Debian is no longer responsive. If I'm lucky, I can switch to a virtual
terminal and kill the process from there. Even then I risk losing unsaved work.
I've spent some time looking at previous, similar bug reports with no luck. How
can I get LibreOffice to continue functioning without using all 8GB of
available memory?
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open lots of LO files. (Could it be a problem with one of the specific files
I am using?)
2. Without closing, continue normal word processing editing for several hours.
3. Watch steadily more memory being consumed.
Actual Results:
I'm including the output of ps -eo pid,cmd,%mem,%cpu --sort=-%mem | head -4 run
every fifteen minutes over a period of several hours. You can see that while
I'm using some other applications (notably Firefox), the memory usage for those
applications rises and falls, while the memory usage for LO steadily increases.
If I were to wait a couple more hours, the system would become unresponsive.

Expected Results:
Well, I'd expect LO to just continue running without using an increasing amount
of memory.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
OpenGL is not enabled. I'll try resetting my user profile; didn't know that was
a potential fix.
