Hi Laurence, I think you faced some known issues. About memory leak, it seems QGIS is not the responsible but some plugins related to digitizing [0][1]. Do you have any of them? If so, disable them and try to work again. I'm not sure you need to reinstall QGIS nor Windows, I had this kind of problem with some of the last QGIS versions. Just stay aware about plugin uses.
Is the issue with mixed attributes the same as reported here [2]? Have you changed the structure of your layer? With Table Manager plugin, Processing Refactor Fields or Attribute table/Field Calculator? It may be interesting to add your experience to the bug report so that dev can narrow this issue.
