Webstorm detected unusually high memory use
Hello,
Since a few weeks (maybe a couple of months), I noticed Webstorm started to complain quite often (once or twice a day) about memory usage. Every time, a small popup is displayed and proposed to analyse memory usage, restart and then send the memory report (it's what I did each time so far).
It also proposes to change WebStorm's Memory setting, but I didn't as I don't know what would be a good value to set. I'm using a MacBook Pro with Applie M2 ship, 16Go of memory and MacOS Ventury 13.2.1.
Is this a known bug on WebStorm current version, or is this something I can simply fix by increasing the memory allowed for WebStorm. If so, what is the recommended memory setup?
Below my WebStorm configuration:

Could you please capture a memory snapshot using the "Memory Leak or High Memory Consumption" section of this article: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207241235-Reporting-performance-problems when the memory usage is high? You can enable the memory indicator in the status bar, in the bottom of the application frame (right-click the status bar to enable it) to track the memory usage.
Please also share the log folder zipped (Help > Collect logs and Diagnostic Data)
Hi Elena, thank you for your answer.
I just had this problem again but didn't do the right process so I don't have a snapshot yet: I ran memory analysis again by mistake. The corresponding report submitted was 13370021 though, in case it helps.
I'm ready to take a memory snapshot next time the problem occurs. I'll monitor with the status bar today and next week (I got some days off for the rest of the week).
Yeah, the current version of Webstorm 2022.3.2 (or one of its many plugins) has a massive memory leak. For anyone else having the issue, installing 2022.2.4 will correct the issue. I haven't tried the RC / beta versions.
