#416 4.9.9.0 uses up all memory.

[Anonymous]

Hi there!

When I open my 300 lines school project - a guessing
game into Dev C++ 4.9.9.0 I run out of memory simply
by scrolling up and down the code three times... I have
512 MB ram memory running Win98, only by scrolling
down the code I loose about 30% of my free System
Resorces. I haven't experienced this problem with any
other software.

To get by this problem I have to close Dev C++ and re-
open it over and over again...

I discovered that this only happens when I display line
numbers! - major bug!?

I noticed that this only occur when I used the font "Terminal"
and not when I use "Courier New", I believe the second one is
TrueType and the first one is not.

I could not reproduce the problem. it probably only happens
on Win98 for some weird reason...

could you please try this build
http://www.castlesofpoland.com/dev-cpp/devcpp.exe . Maybe
it's a problem with old synedit - part of 4990

I can confirm this problem on Windows 98. It just takes about
15 minutes of editing (about 5 or 6 short files - I am currently
starting a new project with a freshly installed DevC++) and the
system resources are down to 0% (DevC++ then terminates
abnormally).

The build provided by specu doesn't help, and neither does
changing the font or disabling line numbers as mentioned by
Fredric. I even tried disabling class browsing and code
completion, but it didn't matter.

If I can do anything to help tracking down this problem, please
let me know.

Inspired by another bug report (regarding some threading
issues, iirc) I downgraded to 4.9.8.0 and everything is fine.
