I updated to the latest release (v0.10.761.0) yesterday and tried out the splitPane functionality today. After configuring some keybindings for that Terminal crashes and consumes my 32GB of memory within seconds.
If I remove the configuration for the sdplitPane keybindings again I cannot reproduce this.

This happens:

  • with my default profile (Fedora Remix) instantly
  • with the default PowerShell profile instantly by splitPane in horizontal mode
  • with the default PowerShell profile after splitPane the first time in vertical mode and then send another one right after

Environment

Windows build number:  10.0.18363.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.10.761.0

Any other software? no

Steps to reproduce

  • used the following configuration:
// To view the default settings, hold "alt" while clicking on the "Settings" button.
// For documentation on these settings, see: https://aka.ms/terminal-documentation

    "schemes": [],

    // Add any keybinding overrides to this array.
    // To unbind a default keybinding, set the command to "unbound"
    "keybindings": [
        {"command": "prevTab", "keys": ["shift+left"] },

        {"command": "paste", "keys": ["ctrl+shift+v"] },
        {"command": "paste", "keys": ["shift+insert"] }
    ]
}
  • open new Powershell profile tab
  • use ctrl+shift+down to split down and crash immediately OR ctrl+shift+right twice to crash

Expected behavior

Split the pane, which actually works with the Powershell profile in vertical mode the first time.

Actual behavior

splitPane works the first time on a Powershell Profile in vertical mode, but crashes after sending the command again right after the first time.
In horizontal mode it instantly crashes.
In the Fedora Remix profile (default) it crashes regardless of the mode.

Independent of the profile Terminal consumes all of my memory within 20 seconds. Partly screenshot from task manager:
