Ok, you can call it a bug.

As vincent mentioned: We can't do much to "fix" it, because TReader reacts
correct and the devels want to use the new fpc 1.9.

What we can do, is to set all colors and charsets to their default values.
To make things a little easier, I implemented default values for property
editors and object inspector.
In the popupmenu of the OI there is a new menu item to set the default
value.

Now, we have to set default values for all lcl controls to the right value,
so that the colors and charsets are no longer saved to the form streams.
