Recently, i noticed TextEdit on macos bigsur(M1 chip) taking more than 3GB ram and is not responding after I try zooming in.
Even though my .txt wasn't very big(just 4KB, barely 50 lines of text). Anyone experiencing the same, please respond? Is that a bug ?
The ram consumption is increasing exponentially unless I force quit the app. Its working absolutely fine if I don't zoom into it.
Edit : It happens with any text file with TextEdit which is a bit large, e.g more than 50-60 lines. For .txt files with lesser content, its not happening.
