[lazarus] Hints and Lazarus hang on startup - compilerproblem?

[Shane Miller]

Interesting.  I have been trying to create the same thing and capture exactly what was causing it but I have had some time doing that.

The plan for now is to have Main.pp enable all hints after it's done loading.  Then I was going to tackle the prob when I had more time.

I'll have to take a look at what you found.  

Thanks for the help!

I've been able to reproduce systematically a problem that's related 
to the HintTimer in uniteditor.pp. Apparently Shane has also tried 
to hunt this down?

The problem appears when I move the mouse over the 
sourcenotebook while Lazarus starts. The mousemoves fire events 
at TSourceNotebook.EditorMouseMove where FHintTimer is 
disabled and enabled again to reset the delay before showing a hint.

Here's where it gets interesting. Just add a "var a: Integer;" and 
nothing else to TSourceNotebook.EditorMouseMove and it doesn't 
crash any more. This is with fpc-1.0.5-laz.20010815

I then added a global integer and increased it after every 
FHintTimer:=false in EditorMouseMove. It runs 3-7 times before it 
hanging. The timer itself doesn't hang though. Just the notebook 
form.
