I can confirm that there is a memory leak in Nautilus when looking at an
image folder with an high zoom level, even as a list. I'm looking at my
Dropbox Camera Uploads folder and in a couple of minutes of scrolling
back and forth, selecting and deleting images, Nautilus memory usage has
grown of about 1Gb up to 25% of the overall system memory (4Gb).

Title:
  [Precise] Nautilus: memory leak

Status in Nautilus:
  New
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Hello,

  It's just to note that Nautilus has memory leaks with the latest
  version: with an uptime of 10 hours, Nautilus uses 420Mo.

  It's maybe interesting to know that:
   * I'm using a slideshow and not one single image as background.
   * I opened Nautilus in directories where big files were being downloaded (and Nautilus regularly refreshed their preview)
   * I made a few actions (like opening directories with a lot of files, moving files, creating directories, extracting tarball, etc.)
   * I'm using a few plugins like nautilus-dropbox, nautilus-image-converter, etc.
   * I've bookmarks with special characters like 'Vidéos' and 'Téléchargements'.

  I hope it will help you to fix this bug ;)
