iTerm2 consumed too much memory - ran out of application memory
Thanks for filing an issue! Please answer the questions below so I can help you.
- iTerm2 version: Build 2.9.20160313
- OS version:Build 2.9.20160313
- Attach ~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist here (drag-drop from finder into this window)com.googlecode.iterm2.plist
- Attach a debug log, if possible. Instructions at https://iterm2.com/debuglog
- Are you reporting a performance issue? Please attach a sample. Instructions at https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/wikis/HowToSample
Detailed steps to reproduce the problem:
- Start application that generates a lot out output
- Select another tab
- Go to sleep for the night ;)
What happened: System Error message: You system has run out of application memory. iTerm2, and many other processes (mail, iTunes, Oxygen, Sourcetree, Xcode, others) were "paused" by system. Unable to access menus to mitigate issue I needed to force-exit the paused applications.
What should have happened: Scroll back buffer trimmed as needed to keep system from locking up
I've attached the error dialogue and the activity monitor window screen shots. Looks like the iTerm2 process had 65 GB or memory...
