Using the latest subversion 0.70 I noticed that Autokey's memory footprint was a massive 1.8gb and I've only got one phrase setup. I noticed it had gone up from 256mb to this large number after I had had a few attempts at using my phrase (which incidentally was pressing one letter followed by the trigger and it would create the word I'd setup) and it wasn't working until maybe the 4th or 5th attempt. I don't think this is expected behaviour is it?

When reporting a bug, make sure you fill in as much information as possible - the template should give you an idea of what information is needed. As is I can't do anything with this report.

I have experienced something similar. I'm running on a fresh install of Lucid, and when I have left AutoKey running on the computer unattended for a couple of days, I have found it using close to 2 GB of RAM. I will try to repeat it to see if I can get any clues from the logs, etc., and I'll post back here.

How do we get log file of autokey so we can show you the information you need to debug the error of this memory leak?

See the troubleshooting wiki page

Ah, so simple when you know how....running it now and will report back if it happens again......its a great program when it works btw!

I'm getting similar, crashes after a while and takes all my cpu, some error's from before the last time it happened?

Any further reports of this?
