Description:
This issue is impossible to recreate but it has happened to me about half a dozen times in the past 3 weeks.

While working in a tab and deleting text with the delete key, Workbench suddenly stops responding and shows a "beachball of death". Shortly after this, macOS shows a "Your system has run out of application memory" dialog with Workbench listed as "not responding".

I've attached the crash dump from macOS after workbench is closed

How to repeat:
Random issue. Seems to be related to how long Workbench is open (several hours) and then typing and deleting text in a query tab.

It just happened again. I've also spoken to my coworkers and they are experiencing the same issue. I've attached a spindump and sample from the process while Workbench was hung.

Thank you for the bug report. I couldn't repeat on MAC Sierra 1012.6, is your result data set bigger?. Thanks.

It still happens on occasion but I cannot give you an exact set of circumstances which lead to it.

It does seem to be less frequent on 10.12.5 than is was on 10.12.3.

I couldn't repeat the issue, please re-open this bug report if you could provide a repeatable test case. Thanks.
