Both in my version, and in the version that Max provided, moving a cursor within a session slowly increases

Wow, this is serious. I verified it in my machine.

 

Do this:

Open TeXmacs, and open a session (say, shell).

Inside the shell session do 'ls'. Then wait a bit till teXmacs's memory use stabilises.

Then move up and down the session input with the cursor. (i.e. hit the cursor up/down key a couple of times)

On my machine memory slowly creeps up.

I tried with a scheme session with two lines. Moving *once* up/down would increase memory usage by ~200KB !!

So, maybe what happens is that I have very old processes of TeXmacs running, with which I interacted a lot, and for those memory use is already very big.
