Comment 58 for bug 1502556

Same issue on Manjaro Plasma 5.3.1, KF5.11

I found one issue which causes memory increasement:
When I click to the panel to add widgets, plasmashell CPU usage became about 10% from zero and memory increases continuously (about 30 MB in a minute).

Even if there is no change on the panel the memory increasement does not disapear.

Other programs may increase plasmashell as well as after a few hours plasmashell memory takes about 600MB instead of the starting 200MB.

But for one issue, there is the add widgets function in the panel which creates huge memory usage.
