Description Jorge 2013-03-28 20:52:58 PDT 
When uploading an image (by drag & drop) for an image search using Google Image search I am experiencing a colossal memory leak. My system has about 2.2 Gb free RAM and after uploading and (I guess) while processing the upload, my system drops to 5.2 or so Mb of free RAM and will stay like that until I either force quit the program or I press the back button and reload the main Google Image Search page.

This Is happening in the latest Safari, the Nightly Webkit Build and in the latest Chrome.

There is no memory leak by uploading the file in the traditional fashion.

Cheers!
