My code was working fine before.
Now it uses a lot of memory.

For better understanding of my code, I shared it on the link below.

I reviewed it over and over but couldn't find what caused this.

Sometimes I stop the program with a shortcut (alt + shift + c) then restart it.

Sometimes I open a new file and try new codes and then I just close the file without closing the program(SikuliXIDE-2.0.4).

When I close files, do they really not close and be running in the background?
or
Could it be because I always start code and stop code while trying my codes in the program?

Then I can try to close and reopen the program completely after I try again.

Aydın (adn72) said : #3

Now I did not stop the program with hot keys and run it over and over again.
I ran the code and waited two hours. Memory usage has not increased much

When I stop the program with a shortcut and start it again, the memory usage increases.

What is the reason of this?
Am I using the incorrect hotkeys?

Best RaiMan (raimund-hocke) said : #4

Ok, thanks for the feedback.
alt-shift-c ist the intended standard hotkey, to stop a running script.
So feel free to use it.

For now as the workaround: in cases where the memory increase gets too much, stop the SikuliX IDE and restart. Take care to have saved everything before.

I have to check this odd memory behavior in these cases.
I will track a possible bug on GitHub.
