Discover eats up memory and crashes
I normally don't use Discover. I do all my updates via the CLI.
Today, however, I saw the update available icon in the system tray and instead of opening a Konsole I just clicked on the icon and entered my password. It updated FoxPro 57 without problems.
After it finished I became curious about the "Plasma Addons" I clicked on it. A busy wheel started spinning as addons appeared in the right panel. I started scrolling to see what's available. On the third scroll Discover crashed.
It had eaten my entire 5.7Gb of available memory. The crash is repeatable.
If I scroll only twice the memory consumption levels out at about 4 Gb. Do any more scrolling and it continues to eat up memory till it crashes.
It dropped off near the end because I killed Discover instead of letting it crash.
