It's kind of a crazy concept, especially if you are old enough to remember the days where RAM was counted in kilobytes and you would optimize assembler code to save clockcycles.

On the other hand, this is 2017, and people apparently don't care much about the footprint of their software, as long as it's convenient and it solves their problem. And ultimately that's what counts I guess.

So today I noticed that when you try to select text in a tool window, it really does act like a browser. The window won't scroll. The selection spills into other windows. There's no way to select anything you'd have to scroll to.
