      The feature works file on smallish log files (great!), but fails on big (>100k lines) files. Possibly not just “big” but (also) rapidly growing.

      Symptoms:

      • the tail is not monitored
      • the tabs disappear
      • the only way to get n++ functioning again is to kill the app using the X in the taskbar popup. The regular X (top right corner of window) doesn’t react.

      on latest win10.
