674960 - Thunderbird leaking memory only when Lightning (with Zimbra backend)

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[Shobhit Gupta]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0
Build ID: 20110615151330

Steps to reproduce:

I am a Thunderbird user who uses Lightning with Zimbra Calender as my backend.



Actual results:

One of the major issues I am facing is that over time (throughout entire day), the memory consumption of Thunderbird starts to grow and goes as high as 1.3 GB by the next day. Then I restart my Thunderbird to make it use less memory.
I disabled all other addons, the problem disappeared. Next day I turned on only Lightning among my addons, and the issue reappeared.

I can conclude that Lightning is having some memory leak.

I know this bug description is quite vague. Can some tell me how can I help debugging this issue? What data can I collect?
Is there a way I could upload some kind of logs which might give some insight to everyone what is going wrong?


Expected results:

Thunderbird (with Lightning) shouldn't grow its memory consumption over time.

I'm having this exact same problem. Continual memory leak with Thunderbird 6.0.2, Lightning 1.0b5. However, I'm using Google Apps as a backend.  If I disable Lightning, the issue goes away.  Re-installing Lightning also didn't fix the problem.

Does this still occur with Lightning 1.4? Is the cache setting enabled on the calendar?
