Description

Regularily, one to three times a day, an instance of micro I already closed starts eating away all my memory, and I need to kill. It doesn't impact the opened instances.
It's been like that for more than a month. Has someone faced this problem ?

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the memory growth with micro 2.0.10 on EndeavourOS using foot, then narrow down which closed instance remains active. Done means identifying and fixing the cause and verifying that closed instances no longer consume unbounded memory.
