146001 - Mozilla Drains GDI Resources

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 138503

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[L.G.]

Mozilla seems to be very GDI hungry, and hangs on to resources long after they
are no longer required.  At a browser session start, GDI has observed to be in
the 80% range.  After half an hour or so, GDI plummets to around 20%, and
crashes and syslockups ensue.  When shutting down Mozilla, GDI jumps from 20%
back to about 70% or so.  Using the "Flush Memory" option (just for grins) only
gives back about 5% or so of GDI.

Memory Leak?

After searching Bugzilla, cannot find this one, my apologies if this is a duplicate.

I see
bug 105363 We hold onto way too many font resources while rendering intl pages
bug 106386 rid source of misspellings
bug 138503 we create lots of identical 236color palettes

I don't understand enough about it. Could you pick one please?

well that last one is still an open leak, so i guess it's a good ending for 
this bug.
