Hi all,

Problem #1 : Saving desktop settings to file causes Access violation

How to replicate, at least in my case.
1. Create a new application via Project->New Project->Application.
2. Goto Environment->Environment Options->Desktop
3. Save the Desktop Settings to file.
4. Click Apply.
5. Click Ok .... bomb.... Access Violation

Additional Information:
Distribution : Mandrake 8.1
FPC version : 1.0.7

Problem #2 :  Looks like another IDE bug.

Copying a component does not work, e.g., I have already a button named Button1,
I wanted to copy that to make a new copy (of course of different name) but it
does not work.

Problem #3: Another bug.....

1. Press Ctr+F (Find) to show Find Dialog.
2. Change to another application so that the Find Dialog will lost the focus.
3. Go back to Lazarus....

Problem #4 :
    The Code Designer becomes the top of the Z order causing the Find Dialog
    to stay behind.
Work Around
    Move the Code Designer show that Find Dialog can be viewed.

Problem #5: Another bug....
Normally Lazarus application/IDE opens 4 windows and is displayed in the taskbar(MS term).
But at random events, only one window is left normally the Lazarus Editor.

Problem #6: Annoying bug:
Pressing Ctrl-F brings the Find Dialog Window on top of the Z order but
the Form Designer is also brougth next in order to the Dialog Window.


Problem #7: Using TMemo, setting
    memo1.selStart := 1;
    memo1.SelLength := 20;

Does nothing

Looking at the code, it will only set/select a region if the control is of type
csEdit but not csMemo
