Memory Leak Cura 5.4

[hayespa 0]

5.4.0 has a significant memory leak that should be addressed. Memory usage on the application when sitting idle will continue to climb eventually reaching a point where the application becomes unresponsive (and possibly other running processes on the pc as well) and require killing the process to resolve.

I'm glad you mentioned this.

Recently if I use Cura all day on my Windows 10 laptop, I'll eventually get some serious stutters or a crash stating OpenGL has failed.  I try to make sure the bigger resource hogs, like Chrome or other browsers are not running while I am trying to do large print slices.

 

Also, I do not understand why Skirt Height was changed to two?  If you can't remove skirt layers at one layer, you're a bit of a dope 😀
