#7 Memory leak in popup

[Anonymous]

I've noticed a substantial memory leak pertaining to
popup menus. With my current theme, litestep (Indie
build: Feb 9 2003) initially takes up around 7 mb of
RAM. Every entry in the popup menu increases the
amount of RAM litestep is using, yet after the popups
are all closed, memory usage remains the same. Going
back to the same popup entry even requires additional
memory. Earlier today, litestep was taking over 50 mb
of RAM. I terminated litestep, and when I restarted
it, it was back down to using only 7 mb of RAM.

Can you post your popup settings (ie. the ones starting
with "Popup", not the star lines like "*Popup"). If you use
popup icons try to disable them and see if that helps. Also
make sure you are not using label version 1.94-1.97, as they
have a huge memory leak.

Okay, so I tried it without the icons, and it was a lot
better. Memory usage was increasing, but I didn't see a
direct corrolation between the increases (which were far
less than before) and popup menus. I'm using label v. 1.98.
If you want my theme for debugging or anything, it's at

are my popup settings...
