Description Aron Budea 2017-01-21 22:09:57 UTC
There are a few bugs where LibreOffice hits the limit for Windows GDI handles. Let's collect them here, maybe the approach to fixing them can be shared to some extent.

GDI handle usage can be checked with this tool:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/gdi_handles.html

As a partial workaround, GDI limit can be increased with the following registry setting:

Comment 2 Mike Kaganski 2023-04-17 18:35:29 UTC
Only crashes associated with 10 000 GDI handles (e.g., indicated by the crash report's GDIHandles on Metadata page, see e.g. https://crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/crash_details/a443cb17-5ff7-49f9-a153-6b638733fb78), or otherwise confirmed that are caused by GDI handle leaks, are eligible for this META. Please do not add just anything having keyword GDI.
