Hi Gary.
Thanks for you considered reply.

So you ask 'who should fix this?' I would suggest that collectively, those who wrote the code should fix it.
This was perhaps what I was trying to point out. The people who wrote it have no responsibility to your good self to fix it, not even they broke it.
We are responsible to each other *as people*. Not to the *the project*. This puts new contributors at a disadvantage as you won't have any relationships, so won't have anyone to call upon to come to your mutual aid.
And the more you present yourself as a capable programmer, the more other contributors will expect you to approach a problem with solutions, rather than with expectations.
I'm not in any way impressed by your original email. But I live in hope that you may be passionate enough about Inkscape to come join our community and help fix issues with us.
Having said that, one would have to question why the docs prop module
would cause a memory leak.
That was one of my fixes. The grids system wasn't cleaning it's widgets up properly and refreshed the entire widget stack *on every modified signal* so tens to hundreds of times per second. Very bad.
