Ok--this will be interesting: trying to get LW to NOT do anything from behind a firewall! I'll let it run overnight and let you know in the morning. I think I'll set it up in a new user account so everything will be from scratch (in case the prefs have other old settings). Cheers

As you can see, I can only see half the characters under progress and in the mediaplayer. I didn't have this problem with the freeware 4.0.8 version.

You know you can drag each section of a window around for resizing purposes don't you. There's small arrows that separate each section that can be dragged. Also the bottom RH corner can be dragged to resize the entire interface - try making it larger.

Does this happen with all Skins or only this one?

Yes I know. It already was in full screen mode, but I just cut out this section, because this is the only area where the problem exists. All the other characters are just fine. Dragging and resizing didn't help, and it also happens with all the other skins.

I'll leave this one up to the others I think! What OS version & Java version are you using? Is this the 1st time it's happened? Have you restarted the comp since it started happening?

OS: XP Prof SP2
Java: 1.4.2_05

I noticed directly when I started using it yesterday. Restarting both LimeWire and the computer didn't help.

This is a big shot in the dark & probably won't do anything, but try changing monitor resolution & see if it has any effect. Then switch it back.

Did you use the international installer, scamp? If so, it isn't gonna be 1.4.2 (it'll be 1.3) -- the cutoff looks indicative of Java 1.3. Go to Tools -> Options, Bug Reports and click 'Example Report' and double-check the Java version?

Yes, it does.

The VM grew at about 5-6MB/hr, even with a fresh default install into a new admin user account, with no searches, downloads, or uploads
(Interestingly, it quickly went to turbocharged, even with the firewall fully on and the ports not forwarded).

No VM growth, with all View options turned off, while disconnected
No VM growth, with all View options turned off, while connected

VM grew by turning on View->Connections (while connected).
(also noted that the 30 minute sleep function works)

No VM growth, with zab's garbage collector CVS version (thanks zab--hope this gets into the next beta).

So, looks like the VM growth is tied to displaying Connections View when connected, and that better gc will fix the problem.

cheers

Wow. Thanks stief -- that's some excellent debugging work. Hopefully we can now find what's causing it and fix the bugger!
