I noticed that there are a lot of IDE memory problems and this is a place where real answers to these issues are found. So.. I thought I would make a section available for answers to (at least) this question is, since I found no other to fix this problem on the net.
My problem was that I left my work space for a few hours and when I returned Delphi had eaten all the available memory in the Box and the only thing I could do was terminate it.
Then, when I started it back up, I watched the task manager to see when the memory allocations would stop. They never did. So I started closing all the open pages (source, and Form) to see if it was related to an installed component. No change, allocations continued.
Then I opened a different project, and noticed the memory allocations had stopped after a few seconds.
I re-opened the original project and the memory allocations never stopped.
Easy problem to diagnose.. What was different between the two projects if all of the forms and windows were closed. It was something in the IDE that was being utilized by the original project that wasn't being utilized by the other project.
I closed the GExperts ToDo list window. Memory allocations stopped.
Delphi IDE out of Memory Error caused by GExperts window open.
Thanks for the service you provide here, I have found many great dialogs and answers on this site.
You do more than has been asked of you to help others in need.
I hope, in return, you feel the gift is worth more than the sacrifice.
Very much appreciated.
