The problem is as follows:

  1. I open the project in Intellij Idea, wait for the IDE and the project to update all its indices and finish opening;
  2. In System Monitor (Ubuntu) I see how much memory the Intellij Idea process consumes;
  3. I return to the open project (I do not press anything), and again I go back to viewing the consumed memory of the System Monitor and see how 2-3 megabytes are added to the consumed memory;
  4. When repeating step 3, the process consumes more and more memory for 2-3 megabytes per shift of focus. Those. the fact of changing the focus on the project adds 2-3 megabytes to the memory consumed. If you go through the open files, it will consume even more. Re-viewing open files also adds memory consumption.

Question: what is it? and what could be the reason?

Third-party plug-ins are not installed.

  • Well, she’s on Java - why should she release the memory right away ... And anyway, go to the settings, there was somewhere a memory consumption limit and a memory usage limit for the cache, if I'm not mistaken. - Qwertiy ♦
  • @Qwertiy Is it normal that the memory fills when you change the focus? The project is not running, objects are not created, where does the memory go? - Alexey
  • I have no idea. But I would first look at the settings, and there I would have asked if specific problems begin. - Qwertiy ♦
