1TB+ virtual memory allocated by Rocket.Chat desktop client

Description

I’m working with a Rocket.Chat desktop client in version 4.3.0 (installed via the Tuxedo OS repository) and noticed an high virtual memory usage (33 GB and 1160 GB. I did some searching and found no mention of such behavior.\

While I understand, that this does not depict the residual/actual RAM usage, it seems excessive and I wanted to ask, fit there’s a known issue or memory leak, that I’m facing here.

I can’t seem to find the edit button, so I’ll have to reply to myself.
