“High Memory Usage from Plasmashell. Is it a memory leak?” # 45

I’m getting a New users are temporarily limited to 3 replies in the same topic. notification in that thread, because I obviously had made 3 replies and am a new user to this specific kde forum (I also have a much older account for the bugs site).

In my 2nd reply, I even mentioned how I couldn’t edit my 1st reply with an update, as no one had yet replied and I didn’t want the participants to be spammed with new notifications for something minor that could’ve just been added to my earlier reply.

It looks like the edit option only exists within a login session (as you can see is what I said in that thread), and the crashes forced me to have to log back in.

So now I can’t provide the update that iotop didn’t produce anything valuable, which would’ve worked best as an edit to my earlier reply.

I think editing is limited by the software used here, Discourse - there’s a daily limit of the edits you can make per day, and new users have additional restrictions.

you will be able to edit your posts soon as well as post links.

your acct is only one day old.

Yeah, I just saw I was moved up to Basic: (I was about to paste the blog link, but wanted to make sure I could. I can’t.) “understanding-discourse-trust-levels“

This may getting annoying right-quick and I might just opt to make my submission straight to the bugs site since I’ve never had issues there.

I’ll just see how it goes in the other thread first since it’s very relevant (really, the heaptrack issue regarding kwin probably should have it’s own thread).

a couple more posts is all you will need to elevate your trust level…. it’s really not a big deal in the long run.

I dunno… Replying to at least 3 different topics and I’m still a Basic-b, which makes me think I need to meet the other 6 criteria as well (which includes non-sequential 15-day visits. So a couple more posts doesn’t sound like it’d do it).

Another good example of me needing to edit was remembering it’d be good to include the version (of course it’d be nice if I actually remembered instead of needing to edit).

It had only been 10 minutes since I commented before and while I could “edit”, I couldn’t submit the edit.

I’m at least now able to submit links.

patience, grasshopper.
