Huge memory leak in shutter

I can confirm that.

Some time after shutter is running it consumes more and more RAM (some GB) and must be closed.

Shutter 0.88.3 Rev.1206.
Debian Testing + XFCE 4.10.

And Shutter 0.90.1 too.

Thank you for this nice app. ;)

Hello,

Confirmed too.
Shutter 0.90.1 + xfce + debian unstable.

I am used to this leak, and close shutter after use. I forget to close it a few days ago and took a few screenshot tonight. I edit them to add circles and text on it, save them, copy to clipboard.
A few minutes later it takes 40% of 8go ram.

I can help

i confirmed memory leak. now i have 4 GB ram using by shutter after close and open it problem disappeared
my version Shutter 0.93.1

its happens always after reasume laptop from suspend mode. not when start laptop after shutdown.

Shutter 0.90.1 and Ubuntu 14.04 have the issue. Closing Shutter after use works though.

I've noticed this as well. Any update on this? What's a good alternative to shutter?

I have the same problem. But the interesting thing is that I have also Hotshots (similar to Shutter) and it has the same problem. I suspect that it may have to do with the fact that I reboot my Mint 17 machine only every 2-3 weeks. Sometimes weirred things happen when a operating system is heavily used and not rebooted every now and then. I will test this out and report later.

I can confirm that rebooting the PC solved the issue for me.

That bug still exists. I reboot my machine daily, but sometimes Shutter wants all my RAM.
... at least many of it.

it's still there....

Is anyone working on this? Bug has been reported almost 3 years ago and yet I don't see any comforting input from vendors/support...

Not cool guys. Not cool at all.
