Originally created by @Atedos on GitHub (Oct 1, 2025).

I have searched the existing issues, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate report.

  • Yes

The bug

Was sorting out dupe with Duplicate review utility via web, only to notice 20 minutes later a major performance slowdown and that all my RAM on a Debian server is gone.
Later i was able to reproduce it with simply switching back and forth many times on a single dupe entry in preview mode.

Reproduction steps

  1. upload dupes with different hashes
  2. open Utilites - Review duplicates
  3. open preview of one of them
  4. switch back and forth between 2 dupes
  5. monitor RAM usage increase by node

Relevant log output
