I am using 10.2.1440.0 with VS 2003 and 2005.
I have noticed that if I use VS for days (sometimes I don't close the IDE for weeks when working on the same project) the GUI will eventually lock up. Everytime that has happened the handle count for the dev app is 30,000+. Sounds like a handle leak.

To test my theory I disabled VA and ran my app like normal (debugging and working on code). After 1 hour the handle count was 637.

Turned back on VA and did the same (not the exact same work, but some types of things in same project). The handle count was 2,800. Sounds like it is VAX.

Anyone else seen this?

are you simply using task manager to track the number of handles, or some other program? this does not sound familiar to me, but i will run some tests myself and see what results i get.

do you have any other plugin's installed? your results are quite suggestive, but it is always worth asking, since sometimes multiple plugin's interact with each other and cause problems.

Yes, I always have the Task Manager open for my own apps.

Can anyone at Whole Tomato say when this handle leak issue will be resolved? The next release? Within 2 months? Never? I'm very interested in seeing this issue fixed.

It's listed there as the first build, the download page only shows the latest stable release and doesn't show beta builds ;)

Is it safe to run these beta builds on a production system? Do they expire? Any idea when this fix will be merged into the mainline release?

Thanks.

We think it is safe to run our software on production systems since it's used only during editing. We have no components involved during runtime.

Beta builds, as all other builds, run for a few days if your support has expired -- sort of mini-trial periods. Otherwise, you can run any build generated during your term of support, and run forever if you choose.

Check the date of your expiration in the About node of our options dialog. Compare it with the build dates from our history page.

We do not yet have a date for making a 15xx build a general release.

I have been running the 15xx builds for about two weeks and can say that the handle problem does indeed appear to be fixed. I just updated the to 1530 version and no problems with handles at all.
