Description

When having the system memory nearly full, trying to open the Snapshot window will produce multiple notifications warning that "A snapshot cannot be taken now" continually, easily getting to 20 notifications in a few seconds.

Reproduction steps

Have your RAM nearly filled up. I think I accomplished this by either enabling ray traced shadows, or by leaving the viewer open for a while.
Open the Snapshot window (can be done with Ctrl+Shift+S). If the bug happens, multiple notifications should pop up continually.

Allegedly fixed in Beta 1.5.0.2, and I have been unable to replicate the conditions for the bug. Closing the issue for now, will reopen if I come across the bug again.
