Funny timing, I moved to Ghostty this week and just today I ran into OOM crashes in Ghostty while developing a terminal UI app. Coincidentally this TUI has a tab bar that looks like this, where UTF8 icons are used for recognizability and activity indicators (using © and € as placeholders here):

    1|Flakes ©    2|Installed ©    3|Store © €    4|Security © €
   ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This works fine normally, but resizing the terminal would quickly trigger the crash - easy to avoid but still annoying!

I was already preparing myself to file a bug report with the easy repro, but this sounds suspiciously close to what the blog post is describing. Fingers crossed :)

(EDIT: HN filters unicode, booo :( )

Why would I move to GhosTTY versus the terminal emulator that comes with my OS as it's not clear to me from the documentation?
