Hi!

I am currently experiencing an issue with my paraview. When I delete data from the pipeline or stop showing data in a render view then paraview freezes and crashes. The RAM useage as shown by my task manager when this happens increases until the crash or I abort the task. I experience this issue on all my downloaded versions of paraview (5.8.0, 5.9.1, 5.11.2). I don’t recall experiencing this issue before about a week ago and I haven’t knowingly updated any software (perhaps a windows update actually?) or changed any settings.

Any potential fixes would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance!
