Designer memory leak when using the ribbon interface

[casic]

Hi there,

I found a memory leak which occurs when using the report designer (StiReport.Design() or Designer.exe) with Ribbon-interface. When switching from the design view into the preview and back, the ribbon resources of the preview are not freed. This also prevents the designer instance to free up its resources when closing the designer. I could verify this behaviour with the StiGlobalGuiStyle.Office2007Blue and StiGlobalGuiStyle.Office2010Blue gui style. The memory leak occurs not when using an old gui style - StiGlobalGuiStyle.Office2000 for example.

I used the .NET Memory Profiler to investigate this maloperation. Please have a look to the attached memory shots.

Hope you can fix this issue as soon as possible, because some of our customers run into OutOfMemory Exceptions when using the designer.

Thank you very much,

Kind regards,

Markus

Hello, Markus.

We know about this issue.
It's connected with third-part component that we use in the Designer.
We couldn't solve it right now but we are looking for the solution.

Thank you.
