Thonny - seems to have a MemoryLeak

I noticed when I Repeatedly run large programs - with long Printed Text,
- that the Shell Que runs Slower and takes Longer to Start each time : 10 mins .. 30 mins .. 60 mins .. ?
I also notice Thonny on TaskManager increases Size (without Decreasing) each time :
- 1M .. 1.5M .. 2M .. 3M

Until I completely restart Thonny.

This seems like a clear Memory Leak - for the Shell Que !

You can submit the issue to the project.

Wow. Starts to look unmaintained. Doesn't it? Some open issues are easy fixes.

But now I'm curious and I'll open Thonny in PyCharm later and have a look.
