Ghostty - Macos Sequoia V15.0.1 - Ghostty Application Memory ... 477 GB

[JamesRivers]

This is a good one Ghostty 1.0.1 Build 8696 reported on the MacOS instance today that is using 477GB application memory...

Thought I would list that here :)

Have you changed scrollback-limit or image-storage-limit? How many windows/tabs/splits does that represent? 477GB is a lot but we need some context to put that into perspective.

I have not changed scrollback-limit or image-storage-limit. I don't use windows tabs or splits with ghostty natively but I do use tmux. I roughly had these open in tmux: - 5 sessions - 10 windows - 7 splits across in 4 windows

Each one of my splits has some sort of dev server running, and all the non-split windows had a nvim instance open. No clue if this is helpful

Next time @spineda1208 also check the application overview(ideally with hierarchial view), and see what the ram usage for the child processes is.

How can I see the application overview?

@spineda1208 in Activity Monitor, go to View > All Processes, Hierarchically
