Beach ball / application not responding with large saved application state
- iTerm2 version: 3.0.14
- OS version: 10.11.6
- com.googlecode.iterm2.plist
Detailed steps to reproduce the problem:
I left a command running over night, outputing messages a few times per second. In the morning when trying to switch to iterm2 it was unstable so I had to force-quit it. However when relaunching, after a few seconds the same thing happened as it tries to load the output from the last session. I solved the issue by removing the saved application state folder:
$ ls -la ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.googlecode.iterm2.savedState
total 2019224
drwx------ 5 luca staff 170 Mar 22 08:03 .
drwx------ 41 luca staff 1394 Mar 22 08:06 ..
-rw------- 1 luca staff 1033827040 Mar 22 08:03 data.data
-rw-------@ 1 luca staff 6416 Mar 22 08:03 window_1.data
-rw------- 1 luca staff 981 Mar 22 08:03 windows.plist
What happened:
Unstable with large saved application state, resulting in having to manually remove the saved application state.
What should have happened:
Shouldn't be unstable with large saved application state.
