Hi, when I open more than nine or ten mousepads in parallel, I can still use one or two of the open windows but the other mousepad windows start to allocate memory until it is exhausted. I am using FreeBSD 10.4 with mousepad 0.4.0 running under blackbox. It is easy to reproduce by opening one mousepad window with one document contained in one. I am using mousepad on an older machine with only 4GB of RAM. On a machine with more RAM, top looks like this after 12 mousepads have been opened: Swap: 16G Total, 1666M Used, 14G Free, 10% Inuse, 12K In PID JID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 25003 0 erich 5 20 0 645M 425M kqread 2 5:53 100.39% mousepad 11076 0 erich 3 22 0 46132K 3916K select 1 2:57 49.17% dconf-service It is only one mousepad process eating up all the memory. It seems to me random which of the mousepad processes can be used but this one works normal while other do not react to any event. It stays then like this until mousepad took all the swap space and RAM. It is not possible to kill mousepad from blackbox but it is possible to kill mousepad from top. I know, it is a minor issue.
