(OT) I like iTerm for its smart select/copy behavior, mostly, but stopped using it about 3 months ago because I often caught it using immense amounts of RAM, slowing everything down on my 32Gb trashcan pro. I thought it might have something to do with the GPU, but it doesn't happen on Terminal.app, which is otherwise good enough, but I miss iTerm every time I have to cmd-C or adjust the span of a double click. Has anyone else observed the RAM trouble? Maybe I have a bad setting?

Probably a memory leak. I’d love to get a heapshot to debug it. See instructions at https://iterm2.com/bugs
Thank you, I will do this.
