I am running Ghostty 1.1.3, on Gentoo Linux.
replyI have opened right now about a dozen Ghostty windows and about 20 tabs in each window, i.e. more than 100 shell instances.
I have started in as many of them as I could, before becoming too bored, a "ls -lR" on a file system with many millions of files.
I could not see any problem, much less any crash. I have been using Ghostty for a few months, very intensively, all day long, and I have not seen any crash or other suspicious behavior.
If you have seen a crash, perhaps there was either some specific version of Ghosstty that had a bug, or, more likely, some weird interaction with some other software that you have, and which might be buggy, e.g. the GPU driver. (I am using an NVIDIA GPU.)
Just commenting to say I've had the same experience. Been using Ghostty since (I was aware of) its release and it has been buttery smooth ever since. I occasionally see people talking about crashing or other issues they've had with Ghostty but I've not seen anything of the sort.
replycool story bro. feel free to make a github issue. I've been daily-driving Ghostty for years and i don't remember the last time it crashed on me.
