GDI Object Leak - xnview-1.80.1

When I switch between image and browser view via tabs the GDI Object counter in the taskmanager increases. After a while (~9000) it will cause display errors.

I have a german windows 2000 version. Because I dont know whether my menu name translation is OK.
Taskmanager > View (3rd item) > Select (last item)
Check "GDI-Objects"

This is known as "GDI Handles" in Process Explorer (

I can confirm high count of GDI Objects (whatever that is) when:
1. Folder tabs enabled.
2. [x] 'One View Opened'
3. Browser>Fullscreen>Viewer mode.
4. Hold down <enter> key over tiny image.
5. Count does not rise when folder tabs are unchecked on menu.

I can confirm there is a resource leak in GDI Objects\Handles.
Everyone please switch to using "Process Explorer 9.12" it's far more professional.
It can be downloaded here -

GDI leak -new: 'Show Information' in 'browser fullscreen' mode.
(This can cause counter to rise to many thousands if quick slideshow is used. I'm not using tabs.).
'Show Information' does not leak in viewer fullscreen.
At 9999, I got display errors requiring restart.
F12 has tiny leak. 'About' has tiny leak. But these won't accumulate quickly like the 2 others will.
