Any chance this one’s getting some love before the month is over?

I find it a lot more important than the one that’s currently labeled as my Bug Bash issue.

I see that bug #69776 added by me a few days ago does not exibit the BugBash label.
Please let me know what should I do in order it to be part of the Bug Bash ongoing process. Thanks.
You have to add a comment with simply written in it:
[BugBash2022Nominee]
Thank you for your reply.
Actually I had put the following lines in the first box at the top of the page:
[BugBash42044Nominee]
Opening a window containing a PagePanel, in Activity Monitor Memory increases according to the number of objects in the PagePanel, and then closing it, Memory does not decrease. And there I had uploaded a sample project.
Now I have added [BugBash2022Nominee] in one of the boxes below. Let’s hope!
You could have simply waited for like 40,000 years

You hit the wrong key, you wanted to write : 40,000 ticks

At 75 + 7 month, I guess it would have been slightly too long to wait.
Hi Carlo,
your answer can be given by a 20 y/o programmer too 
That has nothing to do with the PagePanel… And is not a memory leak (kind of), it is the (suboptimal) way xojo loads the libraries…
A memory leak would increase memory usage every single time the window was opened, in this case it is increased only the first time the app needs the libraries to use some controls. You are seeing a big increase because you added the bloated and bulky Webkit only DesktopHTMLViewer. But other controls like the bevel button also need extra libraries that your main window doesnt use.
Not sure if it is a good idea to unload them from memory every time (RAM vs HDD), maybe the bug it is not loading it all when the app starts. I prefer that the app use 50 extra Mb of RAM if it is going to be faster to load the windows 
It only gets the BugBash label when it is selected to be worked on. If you already have one with that label it won’t get selected until that one is abandoned or fixed. Adding a comment of [BugBash2022Nominee] allows you to select which ones the system can choose from when it comes time to pick another one of your bugs to select.
Thank you for the explanation.
I’m ready to say that I may be wrong about calling such behavior a Leak, but the fact is, with a PagePanel containing a lot of objects (even without the bulky Webkit DesktopHTMLViewer), when I open the windows containing such PagePanels, the memory increases, and closing the window the memory does not decrease.
Opening Xojo (even without opening any project) memory is for instance xxx Mega, after opening its Preferences window (which I guess contains a PagePanel) memory increases and after closing Preferences memory does not decrease.
Memory increase depends on how many objects one puts in a PagePanel. If it were a matter of a few Megas I would not mind, but when I see an increase of 20 or 30 or more Mega, then I start wondering a bit.
Anyway, let us see what Xojo people say about it, if they get the chance to have a look at it.

Befor my previous post, I removed the PagePanels leaving all the other controls and it behaves exactly the same. It has nothing to do with PagePanels, but the controls that requiere extra libraries.

Good to know. In that case Xojo folks will just close the case.
