Each time you do something in MD, memory goes up... and never going down again. It only takes a couple of minute to fill up all my memory (512 MB) when editing code. (typing, deleting text, saving with ctrl-s). Asked on irc, devs told me to fill a bug here. -- # cat /etc/portage/package.unmask >=dev-util/monodevelop-0.6 >=dev-dotnet/gtksourceview-sharp-0.10 >=dev-dotnet/gecko-sharp-0.7 >=dev-lang/mono-1.0 >=dev-util/monodoc-1.0 >=dev-dotnet/gtk-sharp-1.9.2 >=dev-dotnet/gnomevfs-sharp-1.9.2 >=dev-dotnet/gconf-sharp-1.9.2 >=dev-dotnet/gtkhtml-sharp-1.9.2 >=dev-dotnet/glade-sharp-1.9.2 >=sys-devel/automake-1.8 >=dev-dotnet/art-sharp-1.9.3.1 >=dev-dotnet/gnome-sharp-1.9.3.1 -- Also posted to mailing list (no response, seems no one care) http://galactus.ximian.com/pipermail/monodevelop-list/2005-May/002087.html and here too: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-344459-highlight-monodevelop.html Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

I think the best way to have monodevelop may be using the mono installer from mono-project.com. That works perfect to me. By the way, I think I have had the same proble with that version 0.7 on other distros (but I can't assure). Why not trying the latest monodevelop? (0.10)
Is this bug still current? It is listed as a blocker on an ebuild that is not supported anymore. Is this problem in monodevelop-0.10 or monodevelop-0.12?
No response from reporter, assuming fixed. If you can reproduce with the latest (0.12), please reopen the bug, or file a new one.
