            Bug ID: 346797
           Summary: Massive memleak when sending/receiving youtube link
           Product: telepathy
           Version: 0.9.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: text-ui
          Assignee: kde-telepathy-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: sine.nomine at centrum.cz

Normally ktp-text-ui takes decent amount of memory. However, when either party
of the converation sends a link to youtube video (most likely other streaming
serives etc., too), ktp-text-ui starts grow rapidly, consimung all the
available memory (I have 8GB) and force system to swap in just 3 or 4 minutes.

Happening when IM via g+ account and IIRC, FB messaging does this too.

The only "solution" is to write some messages quickly and kill the process
(write the messages in order to prevent the yt link being loaded among the
recent messages after entering the converastion again).

Not sure if it happens everytime, but often enough.

Version:
ktp-text-ui-0.9.0-1.fc22.x86_64

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  start a conversation with someone via g+ / FB
2. send link(s) to youtube content

Actual Results:  
ktp-text-ui grows in memory making the system swap to death

Expected Results:  
ktp-text-ui doesn't leak memory
