Racket v8.1 [cs] -- Memory leaks with IDE in Win10

[J Fuller]

Hi!

I'm having problems with memory consumption in Racket v8.1 [cs], 64 bit on Windows 10.

I left the IDE running overnight with a one short file open in the editor (less than 30 lines) but nothing actually running and in the morning, I found it it had consumed over 20GB of RAM (see attached screenshot from Process Explorer).

Is there any way I can troubleshoot what's causing this?

What's the best information to supply to make a good bug report?

Thanks very much!

Hi, and thanks for the report!

That sounds like a bug that has been fixed for the next release,
especially if you opened any HTML page (such as documentation) from
DrRacket.

Hi! I've read the issue ticket and that sure sounds like the problem! I've installed 8.1.0.7 and I'll see if that addresses it.

Thanks very much!
