Memory leak when closing a tab/tabs

[ArvinZJC]

Hi,

When I tried to close a tab/other tabs/all tabs, I found there might be a memory leak problem in TabControlExt. It seems that GC does not collect garbage because TabItem objects are held by something, I guess. An alternative is to add a global timer to force GC to perform garbage collection within a specified interval. The memory usage will be reduced significantly after a while when "Close all tabs" or "Close all tabs but this" is selected. However, it does not apply to closing a single tab. I think this solution is not that good and I wonder if I could get the root cause and a suitable solution from you. The CloseMode of TabControlExt is Delete.

Hi Arwin, 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 

We have checked your query “There might be memory leak issue in TabControlExt when removing tab items” and we have checked the reported issue using JetBrains profiler where both TabControlExt and MS TabControl are checked for memory leak under same operation and they both work fine without any memory leak. Whereas forcing the GC worked same for all Close / CloseAllButThis / CloseAll functions. The memory occupied by TabControlExt in overall process remains below 85 MB similar to 55 MB in MS TabControl.

Hi Niranjan,

I have rechecked my program, and most controls of it are the Syncfusion ones. Unfortunately, I could not locate the cause of high memory consumption when tabs had already been closed. My program has been attached and I was wondering if you could help me to sort out the wrong things.

I define a user control in the CS file "StrikePriceVolumeTab.cs" and use it as the content of tabs (TabItemExt). I added 10 tabs and the program occupied about 300 MB memory. When I close one tab/other tabs/all tabs, the memory usage still remained high. Previously, I tried to force GC in the specified functions when tabs are closed. However, it had few effects.

Anyway, thank you for your reply!

Regards,

Arvin

Hi Arvin, 

Thanks for your update. 

We are able to reproduce the memory occupied issue when TabControlExt tab items are removed by other than using TabClose option and logged it as bug. We will provide analyzed information tomorrow (September 1, 2020). We appreciate your patience until then.

Hi Arvin,  

 

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. 

 

Due to some complexities faced while implementing the reported feature” Memory consumption is high, when tab items in TabControlExt are removed by option other than TabClose , we could not able to complete this implementation. We will work and include this implementation in Volume 3 SP1 release which is expected to be rolled out by the month of November, 2020. We will intimate you once the release get rolled out. We will appreciate your patience until then.

Hi Arvin, 

 

Sorry for the delay, 

 

We have faced some complexities in the reported feature ”Memory Consumption is high, when the Tabitems in TabControlExt is removed by option other than TabClose” from our end hence the delay occurs. The Patch for this fix will be delivered in our upcoming Volume 4 Sp1 2021 release which is estimated to be on January end. We will intimate you once it gets published and appreciate your patience until then.

We were checked the reported behavior with MS control and the same behavior occurred in MS TabControl also. Because Syncfusion TabControlExt derived from MS TabControl. Also, we are checking the memory usage after some time the memory has been released. So, this is not a valid issue. Also, we have attached the modified sample with MS TabControl. Please let us know if you have any other further assistance regarding this.
