Orion can't open this page: This operation couldn't be completed. Cannot allocate memory

Keep getting this error: Orion can't open this page: This operation couldn't be completed. Cannot allocate memory. think it started when I was using the console in Orion, as a similar bug is reported in Safari. it resolves itself after i refresh the page a couple times or leave it alone for a few seconds.

I am not memory limited whatsoever, I have tons of RAM leftover.

Tabs should load properly?

Restarted the browser, haven't used the console in Orion at all, and had this happen again on opening a new tob. browser feels much more responsive now, I'll see whether it becomes sluggish again (this is why I restarted).

If that is the case, this sounds like a WebKit issue. I'd expect to see it fixed in the future. Could you link the WebKit/Safari bug report so I can follow it as well?

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255580798?sortBy=rank here's one, though it's inclear if it's the same issue. if it is, it's been present a good while and shows no sign of being on their radar

If you'd like I can ask the dev team to take a look at whether it's us or them, but given the similarities reported I'm guessing this is Apple.

that would be good, i haven't ever experienced that cannot allocate memory error on the command line, tried to recreate it in chrome or safari and was unable to. i think i misread the apple discussion page that i sent. i currently have chrome safari and orion all open, dev console open in all three, pointed to a locally served webpage. only orion starts bugging out in this way.

last time i experienced this bug i restarted the browser and all seemed fine. problem immediately reoccurred once i used dev console in orion. doesn't stop after I close dev console, sporadically happens when I open a new tab, then won't work for a few seconds to a few minutes, then will randomly work again. doesn't stop when I stop serving the localhost webpage.

Hey! To add some data, I just encountered that error message for the first time. Refreshing the tab a couple of times got rid of it. I didn't use the dev console in any way when it happened so that likely isn't the cause.
Will continue testing.
