What's included
- Window turns white, black or shows the splash screen every few minutes on Windows, then returns to Home while tasks keep running
- Opening a specific existing chat or thread on macOS crashes the renderer every time, even after restart and update
- Opening or scrolling a very large existing chat makes renderer memory climb until a V8 out-of-memory reload, even with plenty of free system RAM
- Unsent drafts, dictation and voice calls are lost, and elapsed-time counters reset when the UI reloads
- Crash logs show dozens to over a hundred renderer crash records in a few days after an update
Not included
- Dozens of renderer processes retained with a single window, raising total memory use without crashes
- Right pane flickering continuously with high renderer CPU right after sign-in
- Slow model responses without the interface reloading
