Description

  • I am on the latest Hyper.app version

  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

  • OS version and name: MacOS 10.13.3

  • Hyper.app version: 2.0.0.canery11

  • Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: Link

  • Relevant information from devtools (CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere): On each Reload a message (re)loading renderer plugins appears for each Reload that I have done (exponential growth)

  • The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: yes, I don't use plugins

Issue

  1. Open a new Hyper Window
  2. Reload the Tab (e.g. by pressing Ctrl+R)
  3. Open a new Tab (e.g. by pressing Ctrl+T)
  4. Two new tabs open
  5. Reload the Tab (e.g. by pressing Ctrl+R)
  6. Open a new Tab (e.g. by pressing Ctrl+T)
  7. Three new tabs open

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Reproduce the reload and Ctrl+T sequence on macOS, then trace the renderer plugin reload handling alongside new-tab creation. Done means each Ctrl+T opens exactly one tab after any number of reloads, without repeated reload-related messages.
