As far as I can recall you said in was the code-folding support in Lazarus
IDE that caused you problems. You never mentioned exactly what those
problems where though.

Highlighting code and pressing the delete key is an issue with the
developer, not the software. ;-)

This is true. I was simply highlighting the fact that auto-generated code
doesn't need to overwhelm the developers editor, it can be hidden from
view. If I recall (from 7 years ago), Visual Studio did [does] exactly the
same.
