AW: [lazarus] New tests of the IDE

[Mattias Gaertner]

A lot of question. I think we need a Delphi oracle ...
questions left over: 7, 10, 13, 14, 17 at the end of this mail.


> 1. The view Units and Forms Dialogs are not working correctly (it is only
> one unit shown). (the view Forms can not be executed).
> 2. Open Project menuitem is not working.
> 8. The file-close menuitem only closes the unit not the corresponding
> form.
> 12. If I select new project only units are generated, not the

There is a new project.pp, so we have finally a valid project format. But
the rest of IDE is still using the old prototype code. You can put this to
the category  "not implemented yet". I think it can be done in a few days.

The component selection, moving and resizing code will be totally replaced.
The gtk-interface is still not ready for designing. Hopefully this will be
fixed in the next few weeks.

Bug fixed. Will soon be available.

I will add object inspector options.


> 9. A replace-text-dialog is missing for the editor.

I have implemented it yesterday. Will soon be ...


> 11. It is now impossible to mark lines or words with the mouse, but
> dbl-click marking of one word is working.

I will check this ...


> 15. One time I had that in the editor the cursor was shown at a fixed
> position but I could write at any place.

I got this error too. But to track it down I need a reproducable error.

> 14. What is with the tooltips, are they disabled again?
> 17. If I close Lazarus I get the following error:
