Visio 2007 memory leak

[Frank Laurijssens]

I have a Visio file containing UML diagrams. There's an object on one
diagram, which I cannot delete. If I try to, Visio CPU usage goes up to
almost 100%, and it's memory usage starts growing and growing.

After terminating Visio 2007 through Task Manager, I get the standard OCA
dialogs, but it doesn't look like a widely known issue.

What is happening?

Hi Frank

You may want to use the link below to also post in the MS Office Visio newsgroup.

When posting there you may want to include additional information, such as
- Does this occur in any file or only one?
- Was the file fresh in Visio 2007 or one from a prior version.\
- What version of Windows are you using?

I just hate cross-posting , and public.office.misc is technet managed,
public.visio isn't. But since you asked:

* It occurs just in this file, with only one shape (a UML class shape like a
hundred others I have on various worksheets)
* If I remove the shape from this sheet, Visio hangs. If I remove the shape
from the UML tree, everything is fine (except that it dissapears on all
sheets, I have to create a new class and I lose all other information). Of
course I did this as a workaround to be able to move on with my project
* The file was converted from Visio 2003 on Windows XP, now it's Visio 2007
on XP.

I'm still expecting some kind of solution, IMHO an application that starts
to eat memory is always a bad thing to happen, so I kept a copy of the file.
