Resource leak in menus

All, I recently implemented the FWH 17-02 upgrade. Started getting a lot of calls that our application was locking up, toolbar buttons losing their images, etc. I suspected a resource leak however, calling Checkres() at the close of the app does not report any problems. I think I narrowed the problem down to menus. I use xHarbour (commercial) however, I built a sample using testmnu3.prg in the \fwh\samples folder and compiled using Harbour/Borland. When I open this sample in Windows 10 I can see the GDI count in the Windows task manager go up as I click on the menu items. Simply switching back/forth between the sample and the task manager using Alt+Tab causes the GDI count to increase, i.e. as the app simply loses/gains focus and menu is repainted the GDI count goes up. I tried this on a couple of different Win 10 machines with the same results. Interestingly, under WIndows XP neither our app or the sample increased the GDI count. The menu in our app has quite a few more menu options so it only takes a few hours of normal use before it crashes under Win 10 or Win 7. I looked through the recent releases and did not see any reference to this being a problem or any fix. Is this something that was addressed in a later release? Can anyone confirm this using testmnu3 sample? Thanks, Randal
