P3: Somewhat important Description
When stepping through using the CDB debugger, Qt Creator occasionally fails to resume the target process and instead uses full CPU on a single core and slowly consumes more and more memory.
The target process never continues.
In my situation, memory usage increases by around 15MB per second, with no apparent upper bound. I have been quitting Qt Creator once Qt Creator exceeds 10-15GB RAM usage.
The Qt Creator UI remains fairly responsive throughout, but it is not possible to either stop or pause the debuggee. The only way out of this situation is to quit the application.
