Description:
In the Health module, looking at the Connection health and Memory health tabs. If left overnight, the program will have used around 1GB of RAM (Active memory) by the next morning. This results in a significant impact on the performance of the database itself.

When I quit the application, the memory is returned to the system as free memory.

This does not appear to happen in the Windows or Linux versions of the program.

How to repeat:
Start MySQL Administrator, go to the Health module, visit the Connection health and the Memory health tabs. Leave the application running overnight.

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described. To repeat database activity is necessary.

Thank you for a bug report. MySQL Administrator is no longer supported on that platform, so this platform specific bug will not be fixed. Please try out MySQL Workbench, the designated successor of MySQL Administrator. Workbench will again be supported on all platforms.
