I am not aware of doing anything wrong in that place.
No idea why these things complain.
Bug in KF5 ?

Interesting, I never had this. Could you please send me the complete
console output? Otherwise it is hard to do any diagnostics...

BTW: what about using https://sourceforge.net/p/kwave/bugs/ for all that?

That's just a lack of time and also nobody requested it so far. You can
file a feature request for that and I will take it up when I have some time.

I guess these are false alerts, I get hundreds of these, especially from
all kinds of GUI elements. Qt, X11 and other libraries produce them when
shutting down, making valgrind for leak checking nearly useless. I tried
that several times and I already have an exlusion list which is pretty
long... but finally I gave it up.
