Hi Lex I updated to the latest version v8.8 on NuGet. The crash issue has been fixed now, but the memory leak issue reappeared. After gant-chart updated for 200 times, the memory usage grew from 248MB to 700+MB. Please check again.- Hi Bruce, Thank you for the update. I’m forwarding this to our developers. Kind regards, Lex
Hi Bruce, it must be caused by DropShadowEffect used as StaticResource inside the RolloverMarkerTemplate in “GanttChartResources.xaml.” This is a known WPF issue and does not originate within SciChart – it must be avoided on the application side. Could you please try to remove it and confirm if the leak disappears?- Hi Joeri, I did test again as your suggestion, it worked. I misunderstood that the issue of DropShadowEffect was also covered in the hotfix. And I revisited the DropShadowEffect issue, as you have said, it’s a WPF issue. Thanks for your information. Best Regards, Bruce.
