When trying to open a file in the Files view with font size set to Large on 4k screens, the editor's / `text_area`'s `view` child fails to bump its RAM quota when the editor's default quota is too small. To mitigate the issue, bump the editor's default quota to 80MiB. The long-term fix would be for the editor to request more RAM from the runtime to satisfy the `view` RAM request.

When the
viewchild requests more RAM,text_areadoes not try to increase its own RAM quota. The effect is that the editor may fail to render on large screens with Large font sizes (e.g. 4k screen with font size set to Large) unless it is given a high default RAM quota to satisfy theviewRAM request.While a large upfront RAM quota mitigates the problem, the better solution would be for
text_areato react to child RAM requests by attempting to raise its own quota if necessary.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
