Comment 0 for bug 2006675

Main problem:
Gnome-shell has a memory leak when my hdmi switcher is on a channel that is currently not inputting hdmi (i.e. desktop on hdmi 2 but hdmi 3 is selected with nothing inserted). This memory leak does not happen if signal is being sent through the hdmi switcher either from the desktop itself or from some other device. It also does not happen if I properly turn the monitor off.
