Bug Description

Current Behavior:
The application becomes unresponsive when trying to highlight or process large response bodies exceeding approximately 10,000 lines or 1.4MB in size. This issue impacts usability when handling larger payloads or conducting data analysis on substantial responses.

Steps to Reproduce:

  • Send a request and receive a response with a large body (>10K lines or >1.4MB).
  • Attempt to highlight or interact with the response body in the application.
  • Observe the application hanging or freezing.
  • Expected Behavior:
  • The application should smoothly process and allow interaction with large response bodies without freezing or hanging.

Actual Behavior:
The application becomes unresponsive and hangs, impacting usability.

Additional Notes:
Issue seems solely tied to large payload handling for highlighting responses.
Requires performance optimization for handling payloads of this size.

Suggested Priority:
High – Critical for users working with large datasets regularly.

Deployment Type

Hoppscotch Cloud

Version

2025.11.2
