slows down when running for a while

[seanmpuckett]

the editor gets slower and slower as the application remains open longer. it takes longer to update the screen when scrolling. it may be related to number of times switched panes. not sure. have to restart every few hours of usage to continue work. running mac version. note this is new to this version with the new font and redesigned toolbar, previous version could stay open indefinitely with no slowdown

0.20.0

Thank you for opening this issue, @seanmpuckett

I think there's a memory leak generated by listeners added to tabs and not released.
I remember a few versions ago we were mentioning this internally and I have a task to look into it but haven't gotten myself to it yet.

With this open it will get more attention by my other colleagues helping and will get pushed more 😉

On my Mac I sometimes keep it open for days but maybe the 32GB RAM help hide it better 🙃

more info about this. (my mac has 64G ram, I doubt that's the issue)

if you load a large file, e.g. 1000 lines or more, and scroll around and edit it for 5-10 minutes, you can see it taking longer and longer to update the screen when you scroll or search. i think it's related to file size

cheers
