Theia memory leaking causing browser to crash

[anujkaushal]

Memory leak crashing browser

Delete and create large number of files

1. Download new drupal project inside theia using terminal
2. Run composer install to download vendor libraries
3. Now delete ./vendor folder
4. This will trigger theia to consume browser memory like crazy
5. Theia becomes very slow and laggy

Also, if i open the same theia in different browser tab it works fine.

Some theia operations are confirm more memory and causing memory leaks.

Additional Information

• Operating System: Ubuntu Container
• Theia Version: v1.67.0

@anujkaushal, Plz try using Theia IDE desktop version. The web one doesn't work very well. For Ubuntu Container the following link downloads the Linux AppImage file: #https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/theia/ide/latest/linux/TheiaIDE.AppImage&r=1
Also try the experimental Docker image here:
#https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia-blueprint?tab=readme-ov-file#docker
By the way, I'm using Windows 11 😄
