Accidentally copy/pasting a large payload into URL field causes app to hang

Open developher-net opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

Describe the bug Postman on OSX maxes out the CPU and hangs if you inadvertently copy/paste a large string into the URL field.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Copy a large JSON object from a text file (thousands of lines)
  2. Paste into the URL field
  3. App hangs and processor ramps up to 100%

Expected behavior Postman displays an error or warning

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

App information (please complete the following information):

  • OSX Native App
  • Postman Version 7.0.7
  • OS: OSX 10.14.3

Additional context This can happen when you're busy switching between windows. The copy/paste buffer may contain a much larger object than Postman is expecting.
