Description ealmansi 2013-10-23 03:30:07 UTC 
I have a fresh installation of Ubuntu 13.04 in which I've installed Gnome Shell.

Every time I click on either the volume, wifi, battery indicator or the system menu, the corresponding menu pop's up and there's a tiny increase in memory usage.

If I move the cursor back and forth between the icons opening the menus repeatedly, the memory usage goes up and up and never decreases; this takes up a considerable amount of memory eventually under normal usage.

Ubuntu 13.04
GNOME Shell 3.6.3.1
gnome-session 3.6.2
Comment 1 André Klapper 2013-10-23 07:58:12 UTC 
Sorry, but 3.6 is too old. Please try 3.10 (or at least the latest 3.8 version) and report back.
Comment 2 Florian Müllner 2013-10-23 09:01:11 UTC 
This was indeed fixed in the 3.8 cycle.
