    Hello Qt community,

    since last wednesday i am having some problems with QWebEngineView. I went from QWebView to EngineView because it is said to be better and more customisable etc. (dont wanna start an argument here about these two)
    The problem:
    simply dinamicaly allocated QWebEngineView is shown using .show() and a webpage is loaded with .load(QUrl("http://google.com))
    when it loads it takes around 120MB of RAM is a lot, but i could live with that if it was the end of it.
    Then after the page is loaded i click feel lucky(on google search) just to try and see if browsing works nicely. After it loads and i am just
    browsing the page, without clicking ANYTHING the RAM starts to skyrocket to 1.5GB climbing until it stops when my RAM is totally full.

    Then i tried and created a new project, with nothing else only QWebEngineView and loading google and doing the same thing. Same problem still occurs.

    Any suggestions?

    Using:
    Windows 7 Professional 64bit
    Qtcreator 3.4.2
    Qt vesion 5.5 for Windows 64-bit(VS 2013, 650mb)
    Kit QT 5.5.0 MSVC2013 64bit
    Compiler: Microsoft Visual c++ Compiler 12.0
    Windows SDK 8.1 debuggers

      Hi and welcome to devnet,

      If you can reproduce this easily with a minimal compilable example, you should go to the bug report system to see if it's something known. If not please consider opening a new report providing that example and the guidelines to trigger the bug.
