            Bug ID: 149037
           Summary: [GTK] WebKitWebProcess WebKitGtk+ 2.8.5 uses memory
                    without end when visiting some LinkedIn URL
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Local Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: agomez at igalia.com

I'm using WebKitGtk+ with my own JHBuild setting:
https://github.com/tanty/jhbuild-epiphany/tree/wkgtk-devel

MiniBrowser against WebKit 2.8.5

I log in into my LinkedIn profile.

Then, from the top bar I place my pointer over the "Connections" menu so it is expanded, once expanded, I click on the "See all" link:
https://www.linkedin.com/people/pymk/hub?ref=global-nav&trk=nav_utilities_invites_header

Upon doing so, the browser freezes and I notice the HD of my computer starting to work hard. After checking with "top" the WebKitWebProcess is growing its used memory by the Gbs!!! and it doesn't seem to stop.

This may not be a problem in WKGTK+ but the graphics driver since, after repeating the process with a GDB attached to the WebKitWebProcess, GDB states that the point in which it exits when manually killing the process is:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so

However, I cannot reproduce with Chromium, FF (of course, the code path is completely different).
