Sure! Besides,
1. 70 % of these bugs, I think, can be easily ignored and normal work will
continue.
2. After finding a bug there are three ways: 1. repair it 2. send buginfo.3.
Ignore it
3. If you find a serious bug you can recompile lazarus and then send a log.
4. 98 % of logs is in writelns. So, you'll loose a small part without Access
Violation message.


There are some other minor bugs.
1. My brother said, that he will not concern this project as a serious while he
will be able to place timer on the form. So, non-visual components can be
usefull.
May be, it will be reasonable to make fake components (TFakeTimer etc.), which
will be somewhat like buttons (TFakeTimer=class(TButton)), and when form is
saved, it'll be possible to remove all FAKEs.
2. !!!! Compiler is defaulting as /opt/fpc/ppc386. I have never had it there
(only in /usr/bin). Lazarus crushes in this case. Course, I can open options
dialog, but only after opening lazarus begins searching compiler at that place
where it is stated. If settings are correct, but dialogue hasn't been called,
lazarus would use default settings
