[PD] [text] memory usage

[Sebastian Shader]

Seems like the fix should already be in 0.54.afaict you can use the 'clear' or 'set' messages to set the dirty flag to 0, which will clear the undo history.but I'm also wondering if the text window actually has to exist to do so, since 'peer' text objects are possible..

If wish is eating up the memory, then it's most likely due to the internal "undo" handling of the text-editor.
If so, there's been an issue on GitHub about that, and I think there's also a fix...
