Station becomes unresponsive after long periods of inactivity / freezes when coming from another app / crashes after resuming from standby

Brief description of the issue
I leave my desktops on most of the time (for weeks at a time often). While it
is on, I always have station up. Lately, I’ve noticed that when I come to the
computer in the morning most days, I can no longer switch between apps as
everything except the currently loaded webpage becomes unresponsive. I can’t
click any of the app icons in the station bar on the left, nor can I use the
file menu at the top. This has forced me to restart station at least once
pretty much every morning for the past few weeks.

Same issue here, using AppImage on Linux Mint 18.3
System uptime is 3 days, Station does not switch tabs, crashes on restarting.
Also, random logouts from Telegram and WhatsApp.
It gets fixed only on restarting the system. That is not very conducive to
long term ease of use.
Here is a crash log.

Seems there’s at least do distinct issues being reported under this one
thread. 1. Apps within Station freeze/don’t load after inactivity and 2.
Station itself freezes. I believe the OP was for issue #1, which is what I
also am experiencing. I removed 1/3 of my apps hoping to reduce overall load,
but it did not help.
Here’s my screenshot of my processes. ToDoist won’t load at all right now.

I am also having similar issue. After running Station for several days it it
consuming lot of RAM - I have five services active and there is 47 (really 47)
station processes consuming in total about 7 GB of private bytes. Due to this
my PC is using disk (swap) a lot and it’s almost unusable.

CPU usage may be better …
but when will something be done about the runaway memory usage.
Just checked, it is sitting there in the background … 1.8 GB used???
Reopened station: 1.2 GB of RAM …
With three simple Gmail accounts. Nothing more. Only one account viewed at a
time. That seems a very excessive memory load.

Couple of days ago station stops allowing switching apps after some time
(happens 3 or 4 times a day) the currently open app works just fine, i just
can’t switch to other apps either by clicking on the sidebar or using the key
combos. What’s more irritating is that apps like Whatsapp and Telegram ask for
login everytime i restart Station.
Station version 1.43.2

When the freezing occurs nothing about Station works except whichever app you
had active last. The menu bar lets you open menus and click things but nothing
occurs.
So it’s not possible to open the process manager.

Still occurring in 1.43.2 on Windows 10.
