    Thanks for this information. I've experienced this several times, and decided today to look for a solution. I figured it was due to a plugin, but your blog entry came right up. I wonder why this hasn't made it out through the Windows live updates.

    @Curious, this is because the patch isn't working neither... When the patch has been applied and this memory leak happens, VS starts being busy for minutes, and the result is no data in clipboard nor error message... I experience this problem since VS2005, with no real fix from Microsoft. Is it so hard setting data into clipboard?!?
