Root Cause

my screen was flickering like crazy because of long chat so i decided to first go to one previous conversation ( before it gets huge ) it still was flickering! and show me the things that i decided not to have anymore ( double esc you can go back ) so i decided to use /clear that also was flickering my screen and showing my previous chats

Code Example

What happened?

What did you expect to happen?

not to flicker after removing first only that part of conversation, second after clearing. ( oh also it won't release ram so i was at 1.2 Gig ram which i expect after clear goes down maybe not to default 200 to 300 i usually see when i start but atleast to 500 maybe not even instantly but i gave it time before i started chating so i guess no release of the ram or memory leak?
