This is still an issue in Visio 2013 Professional Retail that was released to MSDN yesterday.

It seems that an error occurs when trying to send the feedback files.
Where are they stored so I can send them manually

I have run the Feedback tool. Did you receive the files?
I can't tell if the debug files have been sent.

Thanks for your feedback.

In order to fix the issue, we must first reproduce the issue in our labs. In order to efficiently investigate and reproduce this issue, we are requesting additional information outlined below.

Could you please give us a dump file and call stack so that we can conduct further research?

Visual Studio now has an extension called Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Feedback Tool, available on the VS gallery(http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/f8a5aac8-0418-4f88-9d34-bdbe2c4cfe72).

The extension allows you to
1. upload files,
2. collect trace and dump files
3. collect steps while you're repro'ing the issue, as well as
4. SQM logs about VS extensions installed
5. System details (in DxDiag output)

More information on how to use the tool to provide feedback is published here(https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/content/content.aspx?ContentID=26698).

Please submit this information to us within 4 business days. We look forward to hearing from you with this information.

Yes this work around works for both Visual Studio 6 (VB6) and Visual Studio 2010.

The best workaround I could come up with so far was to instantiate the drawing control in code only. In other words. Don't drag it onto your form (etc.) from the toolbox in the IDE but only create and instantiate the control from within the code. That way the control does not appear in the GUI form editor and it will not freeze your Visual Studio instance.

If you are not sure how to do that you can always drag it temporarily to your form and lift the relevant code for the control from your FormName.Designer.cs (or .vb) file.

Just make sure to have all the relevant references and interops set up of course.
