ok this is pasting and or copying not selection that is leaking.  I understand 
that some motion involving selection was made, but I dont believe this is mine. 
I am marking 1.1alpha since memory leaks are very bad.  I will endevor to find 
someone who is a linux/copy/paste expert to take this bug.  If not I will 
attempt myself.

Is this still leaking?

Comment 5

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Someone with purify or a similar tool would need to check.

Comment 6

[Rolf Leggewie]

Where do you get that tool?  I'd be willing to test if nobody else did.

Comment 9

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

does bug 318069 help?

Comment 10

[Ioana (away)]

Is this still an issue? If so, are there any free tools I can check it with?

Please reopen this bug if you can still reproduce it and have details about how it can be tested.
