Mac OS ChatGPT(OpenAI) application bug - memory leak

Hello everyone.

Has anyone discovered the bug when you minimize the ChatGPT app and it throttling your dock and dock becomes unresponsive?

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Chatgpt
  2. Open Activity Monitor
  3. Minimize ChatGPT
  4. Watch Dock CPU usage

ChatGPT minimized

ChatGPT - Force Quit

Yes - I have the same issue, and there are a few Reddit pages talking about this issue. It has been unresolved for a few versions, so not everyone seems to be experiencing it. It makes the app unusable for me. The Dock becomes unresponsive, I can switch apps. I have to quit both the main app window and the shortcut bar app, and the dock becomes responsive again.

Same issue here, fastest way for me to let it working again is quickly go to the apple icon go to Force Quit and reopen but would love to see a fix in the future
