Issue Details

TestStand Sequence Editor is leaking GDI objects, causing an unrecoverable out-of-resource error.

 

 At that moment, the GDI objects shown in the Task Manager exceed 9500.

Solution

The problem occurs when using a Call Sequence step that creates a new execution as part of your test framework. This triggers switching between execution windows in the sequence editor under certain configurations, leading to a GDI object leak and eventually causing the error you are encountering.

This issue was reported as a bug in the 2022 version of TestStand and was fixed in the 2023 Q4 release.
