Bubblewrap and stray processes

I can’t find Nautilus bugs list and have question for Nautilus.

Nautilus starts multiple process named bwrap which continues to infinity and adds cpu wattages many tens of wats, usually over 60 Wats in my two-processor 88-thread pc.

There is no any attempt to do anything for that in bwrap development:

It seems it’s a bug in the Linux kernel 6.8 that has been fixed by 6.9, so please update your Linux distribution to a version that includes an updated kernel.

Nautilus does not start bubblewrap directly: it’s most likely the thumbnailing code spawning containers to ensure that the code that generates thumbnails is isolated from the rest of the system.
